Tuesday 8th March 2016. I attended UHL NHS Trust LRI and for the first time used their new multi-storey car park. It is a vast improvement over the previous, much used but out-dated facilities. For the first time in many years on a weekday I did not have to spend 45 minutes or more queuing to get in to the car park, fantastic. The only downside was the stairs. My wife has a fear of lifts so we always use stairs wherever possible. To be honest the cleanliness was appalling. It does not look as though the stairways have been cleaned since the MSCP was opened. If the Trust want people to respect the new facility then the Trust should make sure it is kept clean even if it is still work in progress. Other than that, well done UHL NHS Trust in providing this much needed facility. I would have given it 5 stars if it had been cleaner. I do not believe the car parking charges are any higher at LRI than they would be anywhere similar. Like many people I do object to car parking charges at any NHS establishment. I have always found the staff at all of UHL NHS Trusts to be caring and willing to do what they can to make your visits as comfortable as possible within the bounds of the resources available to them.
