AS a disabled driver I was horrified to read about the clamping of staff vehicles at Fairfield Hospital (Bury Times, Feb 22).
Surely before the hospital authorities embark on this sort of action, they should first provide adequate parking for staff, patients and visitors and especially for disabled drivers, who are hardly catered for at all.
There are pitifully few disabled parking spaces at the main entrance and virtually none at the other end of the hospital, near to the physiotherapy department, although obviously many of the patients who attend there have walking difficulties like myself.
Are there any plans to improve this situation, or are the hospital authorities just going to use the clamping as a major new source of income?
