In Edinburgh they relocated the main hospital away from the city centre where there was adequate public transport from most places, to a new site out in the sticks with inadequate public transport, especially for staff on shift patterns, they then started charging, staff, patients and visitors about �10 to park - that is totally unreasonable and needed to be changed. However, I am not in disagreement that there should be charging set at a reasonable level. The difficulty is that now, people will use free parking at hospitals while they go shopping rather than as required for hospital attendance. There needs to be some system of control. i.e. a pass issued with an appointment card or admittance form.
As for your last comment - walking round with a chip on your shoulder doesn't change anything, we never voted Thatcher and the Tories in, but had to put up with the total destruction of a mainly socialist society, now the balance is being redressed - I am not a fan of the SNP and I disagree with a lot of what is being done but, we live in a democratic country and we get what we vote for.
Of course, you could do what a lot of English people are doing, and move here instead.
