On Christmas Day, Boxing Day and New Year's Day, at CRH the Old Main Entrance barrier will be lifted and colleagues can park for free in this location, on these dates only. The remaining CRH parking arrangements are not impacted and for use by visitors. At HRI the ANPR is in normal operation with no changes.

Our Taxi Policy was updated last month to make it easier for our Trust to monitor the use of taxis which should only be used as a last resort, based on clinical need. The changes apply to colleagues and patient taxi bookings.
