IT IS a lovely new car park at York Hospital. What a pity it’s such a rip-off.

I had to take my father, who is coming up to 93, for treatment which meant an all-day stay.

There were no concessions available, unless it’s hidden in small print. It cost me £10.

Also, my husband attended the eye clinic for his six-monthly check-up and he had to pay just over £5.

The system which has been installed is just another way to get more money out of patients, who have no choice but to park up, especially the elderly.

Whoever is in charge of this fine scheme should hang their heads in shame.

It is a tax on illness and, to be honest, I have no interest in their lame excuses.

I just wish a Park&Ride ran that way.
