HEALTH chiefs have responded to criticisms of the disabled parking situation at the new Altrincham Hospital.
Readers contacted the Messenger claiming there was nowhere for disabled people to park.
But a spokesperson for Central Manchester University Hospitals Foundation Trust - which runs the hospital - said: “There are a minimum of three disabled car parking spaces provided at any one time below the new Altrincham Hospital.
"Alternative disabled car parking is also provided on Regent Road, adjacent to the hospital.
"Disabled patients can secure an underground car parking space in advance by notifying the hospital prior to their appointment.”
Altrincham's £17m hospital opened on Railway Street on April 27.
