Question
To ask the Scottish Government how much money it estimates has been saved by (a) patients, (b) visitors and (c) staff as a result of the suspension of car park charges at each of the three hospitals where PFI contracts are in place.
Answer
Since the suspension of charges, the costs of parking and therefore total savings for all users are estimated to be in the region of £8.1m.
Beyond this, there is no means to robustly track the composition of those individuals who are using these car parks and therefore it is not possible to appropriate estimated savings to each of these groups.
