We've learned this week that parking rates are going up at Carleton Place's hospital. As well, the hospital will now charge patients to have a TV and phone in their room.
I anticipate some letters next week.
We all know hospitals have to balance their budgets and have few options to generate revenue. And yet the idea of being charged more for parking will no doubt irk many readers.
Reporter Erin Fitzgerald spoke with someone from the hospital yesterday and is working on a story to tell us what state the hospital's books are in - and how far this move will get them in finding black ink.
