Tell us about your experiences of parking at the hospital.

From the 1st of September 2015 the Mid Yorkshire NHS Trust started charging disabled blue badge holders to park at its hospitals. The aim of this questionnaire is to consider the impact of the blue badge parking charges on disabled patients, carers and visitors.

We will always take necessary steps to ensure that your information is protected and treated securely. Any details you give will be held in accordance with the Data Protection Act 1998 and our data protection policy.


1.Are you the blue badge holder?
2.Are you the?
3.Which hospital did you visit today?
4.In the last 12 months how many times have you been to the hospital and used a blue badge to park?
5.Have you experienced any financial difficulties as a result of the new parking charges for blue badge holders?
6.Have you ever missed a hospital appointment because of the parking charges?
7.Have the new disabled bays made it easier to park?
8.Parking concessions (reduced or free rates of parking) are in place to help patients and visitors pay for parking (including blue badge holders). Details can be found on the hospital website (www.midyorks.nhs.uk).

Did you know that many patients, relatives and visitors who use hospital services can get help with parking charges?
