What: The Scottish Government has provided the funding for NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde to complete the buyout of the PFI car park contract at Glasgow Royal Infirmary for £26.3 million, taking over the facility.

What does this means: Parking charges have been suspended at the hospital since the start of the Covid-19 pandemic. The agreements to take the car parks into public hands will mean this becomes permanent.
