I mean, I take your point but we do need to cut some people some slack. Charging extortionate hospital parking fees to staff without recompense (in fact wages going backwards) seems extremely counter productive to me.

It's certainly something I would have fought against on behalf of my staff when I was a manager of a town centre office where colleagues were contractually obliged to have a car available at all times.
