NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde has decided to issue the penalties despite the Scottish Government scrapping parking charges at the country’s hospitals
Other controls – including cutting the number of spaces – have also infuriated staff who say it is making them late for work.

One patient said: “In the past few years there have been no parking charges at Glasgow Royal Infirmary, with about three floors reserved for staff to use and the other three floors for patients. Since June 1, only one floor is reserved for staff, which is very limited and can only be used with an official parking permit, which is very difficult to obtain.
