SIR: Mrs Barbara Peacock has confidence in hospital services, but not once does she mention car parking for visitors.

Having been a frequent visitor during 1995, parking facilities are horrendous at visiting times, but then Mrs Peacock is probably chauffeur-driven to the door or has her own private parking space.

So where would she suggest the extra visitors from Bolton Royal park their cars when they transfer in the autumn. She goes on about the facilities etc. Surely one of the needs to help recovery is the frequent visits of loved ones.
