Ok, I have now unfortunately become the 'world expert' on going to several hospitals

During the last month I have had to attend The East Surrey Hospital in Redhill, Horsham, Crawley, Royal Surrey County Hospital Guildford and St Luke's Hospital at Guildford and I can report that all their telephone numbers whether to it is to the switchboards or the direct lines to the individuals are all geographical numbers

As I am with 'Anytime' with BT this has been brilliant.
Then we come to my 'bug bear' car parking. Mainly it is about £1 an hour, which does get quite costly when you have to go a lot.

However at St Luke's they have a brilliant scheme, because people have to have treatment there they give you a piece of paper with your patient number on and you put that on your dash board and then you pay £1.50 A DAY to park in their designated car park.

I actually think that is very fair if they are insisting on charging to park.
So, as I am usually the first to have a moan and be negative about car parking and NHS telephone calls on this site, it gives me pleasure to report that some things are getting better.

All I have to do now is get my doctor's practice to change from their 0844 number

....whoops I have got to go there is a pig flying past my window.
