Will the Cabinet Secretary state whether the Welsh Government monitors the use of the carparks at Wrexham Maelor Hospital, Glan Clwyd Hospital, and Ysbyty Gwynedd, and explain what measures can be taken to improve capacity and ensure that people with appointments can always find a place to park?
The operation and management of car parking at hospital sites across NHS Wales is the responsibility of the individual health boards not Welsh Government. Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board is responsible for the operation of their three main hospital sites.
On 5 April, guidance was issued to NHS Wales ‘Welsh Health Circular WHC(2018)010: Car parking management – guidance for NHS Wales’. This set out examples of best practice for NHS Wales, noting that each hospital site has different requirements in terms of parking.
