The first 30 minutes on site are free (ie from entering the site to leaving) and means visitors and patients are allowed to park for that initial half an hour free of charge. We have introduced the 30 minute scheme based on patient feedback and hope it will suit visitors dropping off friends or relatives and accompanying them into the hospitals as well as patients who are visiting for quick pre-arranged tests, collecting prescriptions or making other quick visits.

  • First 30mins – free
  • Up to 2hours - £2.50
