In March me and my family were called to Nevill Hall Hospital as my Dad had taken a turn for the worse. On arrival, we were circling and circling looking for a parking space for approx 10 minutes. Compared to some patients, I understand this is not very long but unfortunately it may have cost us saying goodbye as my dad had passed away approx 10 minutes before we got to him.
A nurse later explained that if we had explained to a parking attendant he would have made sure we could park but short of shunting a parked car out of the way I'm not sure what difference he could of made. I really think a small car park should be designated for these situations so relatives can be informed of where to park immediately when they are called in. I know this won't change my situation but it could stop it happening to others.
