Petition Ban ANPR [automatic number plate recognition systems] in NHS hospital car parks.

Ban ANPR in NHS car parks - When people visit hospitals they usually do so for treatment; for appointments; or visiting family and friends. Confidentiality and privacy should always be paramount on hospital premises, especially if a person is there for a sensitive reason, and does not want their privacy invaded by the contractors who operate these systems - I have no objection to ‘get a ticket at the barrier’, and pay when ready to leave, for the exact amount of time used, but many of these systems expect a person to remember the time of arrival, and leave, when they are often in a stressed situation, resulting in over-payment, or heavy ‘fines’.
