"car parking prices"

About: William Harvey Hospital (Ashford)

Anything else?

I am fed up with the car park prices because if you're in a&e, you're held there for so long and we have to pay for parking, but its not our fault it takes them hours to sort the problem. If I went to visit someone I understand we have to pay for it, but in a&e this is not fair A&E should give you a pass so you dont have to pay for parking as its there problem you're held up. I just wish we could go in get sorted then out, but it takes time and our money when the hosp should pay for it

Thank you for providing us with feedback about parking charges particularly when you or a family member has to attend A&E.

I will ensure that the A&E department staff are aware of the advice they should be offering to people if there is a difficulty with payment or there are delays in being seen.
