Anger at Sturgeon Snub on IRH Car Park Charges
On being told by Health Secretary, Nicola Sturgeon, that she was refusing to require any local consultation on the imposition of car parking charges at Inverclyde Royal Hospital, MSP for Greenock and Inverclyde, Duncan McNeil, said:

“I don’t know what we need to do to get the Health Minister interested in anything that’s happening in Greenock.  On every single point I have put to her, she either passes the buck, refuses to act, or betrays her ignorance. 

“There might be a problem with commuters abusing car parking spaces in Glasgow, but everyone – apart from the Nicola Sturgeon – knows that doesn’t happen at the IRH.

“She has swallowed the Board’s line that there are the same problems in Greenock as there are in Glasgow and freely admits there was no consultation carried out here.”
