Bosses say 1,246 members of staff will lose permits, while at least 1,939 stand to gain one.
By Greig Watson & Anna WhittakerMore than 1,200 members of staff working for Nottingham's hospitals will lose parking rights under a new system.Managers said they had received 9,600 applications for 3,037 parking spaces across the Queen's Medical Centre and Nottingham City Hospital.
Those losing their permits will have a period of "protection" from six weeks to 12 months, a trust board meeting on Thursday heard.The Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust employs about 20,000 members of staff and 1,800 bank and agency staff. Andrew Chatten, director of estates and facilities, said: "The response led to a ranking of eligibility criteria to determine a points-based system for the award of a permit.
"We have secured longer operating hours on the Medilink service, a shuttle bus from Phoenix Park to the City Hospital and negotiated greatly-reduced tram season passes for staff."Anthony May, trust chief executive, said the process "has been a marathon and we know it's not over yet", adding the organisation had gone to the "ends of the earth" to make the system transparent.
