European parking provider, Q-Park UK has taken over the parking operation at two major satellite hospitals operated by Royal Cornwall Hospitals NHS Trust. The company has expanded its healthcare portfolio to now include St Michael’s Hospital in Hayle and West Cornwall Hospital in Penzance.

We understand that providing a quality parking experience for patients and visitors is vitally important and we’re delighted to be able to spread this approach to our new facilities and to build on our positive relationship with the Trust.”
The Trust comments: “We are pleased to be bringing together the contract for car parking across our hospital sites in Truro, Hayle and Penzance and look forward to continuing to work in partnership with Q-Park Limited in managing parking services for our visitors and staff. ”
