Car Parking
Both car parks are pay on foot. The charges are as follows:
0-20 minutes: Free
20 minutes – 2 hours: £2.70
2 - 4 hours: £3.30
4 – 8 hours: £4.00
Over 8 hours: £5.00
Weekly pass: £10.00
Three-month pass: £30
A £5 deposit is required for a parking pass. There are dedicated disabled parking bays close to hospital entrances. Disabled drivers must display their blue badges when parking in those bays.
Free car parking
Patients can park for free if they claim one of the following benefits:
- Income Support
- Working Tax Credit (and have been issued with a Tax Credit exemption certificate and card)
- Income based Employment and Support Allowance
- Guaranteed pension credit
Or have a valid HC2 or HC3 certificate.
To claim free parking you must fill in a patient claim form available from the clinic where you attended your appointment.
Please take this form, plus proof of your benefit to the general/cash office.
Out of hours you must keep a receipt of your parking charges and return that, plus the claim form and proof of benefits, to the office at your next appointment.
Public transport and park and ride
We encourage you to consider other ways to get to our hospitals. This not only helps the environment but also helps ease congestion during busy times.
The hospitals are within a 10-15 minute taxi ride from Southport and Ormskirk stations.
Please visit the Rail Enquiries website if you are travelling by rail.
If you are travelling to either hospital by bus please contact Traveline on 0871 200 2233 or visit www.merseytravel.gov.uk
Bus timetables are available in the main entrance at both Southport and Ormskirk.
If you have to come by car, please either arrange for someone to drop you off and collect you (the first 20 minutes parking are free to help with this) or arrive early to allow time to find a parking space.
There are a team of car parking attendants who will be happy to help you if needed.
