Free NHS Parking In Wales - 3rd Mar 2008 8:50pm
Quote
Patients, staff and visitors will be able to park free at almost every NHS hospital in Wales by the end of 2011.
The Welsh Assembly Government confirmed free parking will start from 1 April unless external contracts are in place.
Hospitals where parking is run by private companies will have to reduce costs until contracts expire.
The changes, the first in the UK, were welcomed by patient groups, but trusts say it will raise pressure and Lib Dems called it "ill-considered populism".
