Changes to hospital parking and fees
PARKING for patients
and visitors should increase by at least 120 spaces at Ormskirk and District
General Hospital later this year.
Southport and Ormskirk Hospital NHS Trust is seeking planning permission to
expand parking at the top of the main car park which faces the hospital
entrance. The land is currently set aside for helicopter transfers.
Neil Aindow, Capital Projects Manager, said:- "There are now few occasions
when this facility is needed. By making alternative arrangements we can use this
land more productively for the benefit of patients and visitors."
The Trust also announced charges for some visitors parking at Ormskirk and
Southport hospitals will rise from 1 April 2015. It is the first increase since
2013. Parking for staff will also cost more.
