:06:52. > :06:54.to cut the cost of parking for some patients and their relatives,
:06:55. > :06:57.as well as staff who work shifts. The Health Secretary, Jeremy Hunt,
:06:58. > :06:59.says he wants to protect patients and their families from the "added

:07:09. > :07:15.High parking fees can make an already stressful hospital visit
:07:16. > :07:19.even more painful. Campaigners say 79% of hospitals in England charge
:07:20. > :07:26.for parking with costs as much as ?72 per day. Three weeks ago, this
:07:27. > :07:30.baby was having a difficult time entering the world, his father had
:07:31. > :07:37.to pay for five days parking at the local hospital, costing him ?60. At
:07:38. > :07:39.a time when you are experiencing something quite traumatic and you
:07:40. > :07:46.are at your most honourable, I think it is excessive. -- vulnerable. It
:07:47. > :07:50.is an NHS hospital so it is something paid for by the taxpayer.
:07:51. > :07:56.At a time of need, which is what the NHS is therefore, we should not be
:07:57. > :07:58.subjected to that kind of charge. Now the government has issued
:07:59. > :08:03.guidelines to all NHS organisations in England that free or reduced
:08:04. > :08:06.parking should be available to more people including those with
:08:07. > :08:11.disabilities, with gravely ill relatives and staff, where public
:08:12. > :08:18.transport is not available. It has become an easy source of revenue, a
:08:19. > :08:21.stealth tax by hospital bosses. This announcement is very good, it says
:08:22. > :08:26.enough is enough. Charges have been abolished in all but a handful of
:08:27. > :08:29.hospitals in Wales and Scotland, some patients in Northern Ireland
:08:30. > :08:34.are exempt as well. In England the new rules are for guidance only, if
:08:35. > :08:39.they trust, Royal free Hospital in London here for example, feels
:08:40. > :08:40.charging ?3 per hour to Park is appropriate, there is nothing to
:08:41. > :08:55.stop them. , the cost of scrapping parking
:08:56. > :08:58.altogether has been estimated at ?250 million, it is a cost that some
:08:59. > :09:04.hospitals may be unwilling or unable to bear.

:09:28. > :09:32.United, could they put to an end a run of six straight cup final
:09:33. > :09:36.defeat? They were first to find space, Tom Briscoe crossing in the
:09:37. > :09:41.corner. Castleford is a club starved of the success of their big club
:09:42. > :09:46.neighbours, Harold Clark refused to react to narrow the margin, hitting
