Trusts are employing bogus lawyers to threaten vulnerable patients

taken to courts over £60 tickets issued while receiving treatment
Trusts
are using bailiffs to go after those who do not pay exorbitant 'fines'
Parents
issued a £50 ticket while at hospital to say goodbyes to dying son
Hospital
refused to apologise and instructed solicitors to chase payment
Hospitals
are spending hundreds of thousands of pounds of taxpayers’ money to force
patients to court over car parking tickets.
NHS Trusts are employing ‘unfit’ debt collectors and bogus
lawyers to threaten vulnerable patients and their families and make them pay
up.
In some cases, patients have been dragged through the courts
over £60 tickets issued while they received treatment.
Documents
seen by the Mail show Trusts across the country are using bailiffs and legal
firms to go after those who do not agree to pay exorbitant car parking ‘fines’.
Elderly parents Robert and Josephine Taylor were issued a
£50 ticket while at hospital to say final goodbyes to their son Stephen, who
was dying of pneumonia.
They had accidentally parked in the wrong bay but the
hospital refused to apologise and instructed solicitors to chase the payment,
threatening court action.
Why do Hospitals feel the need to charge ridiculous car
parking charges ?, it’s a tax on the ill and their visitors, and must be stopped
