From BBC England today:

A rise in the cost of parking at hospitals is unfairly penalising patients and their families, a charity has said. The Patients Association was responding to news that one in four NHS trusts had raised charges at at some point in the two years to March 2024. Oxford University Hospitals, Royal Berkshire and Hampshire Hospitals NHS trusts were among those to have upped their prices, according to Freedom of Information (FOI) data.
