Things like this really make my blood boil;

Almost half a billion quid wasted...who comes up with these barmpot ideas in the first place? Think what could be done with that kind of money? They could start by paying firefighters a realistic wage for a start.

This is right up there with the Scottish Parliament building - Edinburgh trams - Millenium Dome...yep, Labour sure know how to piss money up the wall!

And let's not forget the £7bn or so wasted on part of the new NHS computer system that was subsequently scrapped.

Really? Jeez - some people have got very rich through all this crap!

it kills me
its OUR money ffs too, they forget that

and they would not listen to the firefighters and control staff who told them no, its nuts

when we talk about making blood boil, the fact nurses and nhs staff have to PAY to park at work fucking makes me livid, it comes direct out their pay

do police, fireman, politicians etc have to PAY to park at work?
of course not, nor should they ever have to

whoever thought up this evil scheme and took this money out of hardworking nurses pockets who get less than what they deserve and can live on needs stringing up

rant over

I read somewhere that an American company owns and runs hospital car parks - they were sold off or leased to them about 12 years ago, I think. I'll try and find where I saw it.

Not in Scotland - NHS hospital car parks are free.

Wonder how they can afford to do that, along with free prescriptions and free education
