Our Hospital.
OUTRAGEOUS INSULT.
At time of writing I have just spent 15 days with the most caring team of professionals I’ve ever experienced. Christchurch Hospital’s Cardiology Dept.
The Surgical team really are incredible. Watching then open up both groin arteries and feed a new valve up into my heart (Yes awake but well Anaesthetised ) was to experience a very special team of ‘Professionals’.
The care on the Ward was superb no matter what their duties. Just so many caring people I’m reluctant to single anyone out for concern I degrade another.
I would love to waffle about all those special moments with different individuals but the heading says how I feel. The access and absence of PARKING for everyone – Staff, Patients, their family and friends is a GROSS OUTRAGEOUS INSULT, to all involved. All of us Ratepayers. The whole of Canterbury.
To my experience this has been wrong for 33 years. City Councils have come and gone passing the buck and stonewalling. It is their responsibility. They issue the building permits.
I believe it is TOO LATE for a quick fix and more political/bureaucratic game playing Open up that corner of Hagley Park opposite the Maain Entrance as ‘Temporary Parking’ then the CCC have the incentive to act in a timely, competent and professional manner to serve the community - who pay their salaries.
Were I 30 years younger (I’m 92) I’d quietly go down there and lift those posts and handrails by the traffic liights and erect a large sign ‘Free Hospital Parking (Temporary)’.
