Every time I go there the parking seems to be more difficult.

Recently I took my 89-year-old mother to an eye outpatient appointment, when we went there in December 2007 there had been car parking on both sides of the building.

This time there was scaffolding covering the whole of one side previously used for car parking and the other car park was full, I had to leave my mother and find alternative car parking down near Casualty.

We had to wait 3 hours to see an ophthalmologist and pay £3 for parking.

I asked other patients if they had had any problems parking, three out of four had parked on verges or had not been able to park nearby, the fourth had travelled by bus.

I asked the nursing staff who said no matter how early they were they had difficulty parking and finally I asked the ophthalmologist who said she had difficulty parking too.

Can you tell me where the car parking money goes?

Does Stoke Mandeville have any plans for providing car parking for people attending outpatients, visiting patients and for keeping x-ray appointments etc?

Or is the hospital planning to only let people in by bus?

Are you having trouble parking at the hospital?
