Scarborough Hospital: Getting here

How do I organise transport to and from hospital?

If your reason for going to hospital is not an emergency, you'll normally be expected to make your own way there. However, some people are eligible for non-emergency patient transport services (PTS). In this area the service is provided by Yorkshire Ambulance Service. To find out if you are eligible and to find out more, visit the Patient Transport Service website.

You may be able to claim a refund for the cost of your transport to hospital through the Healthcare Travel Costs Scheme (HTCS). Visit Healthcare Travel Costs Scheme (HTCS) for more information on who is eligible, what the conditions are and how you can access the scheme.

For more information on all of the above visit the 'How do I organise transport to and from hospital?' page.

Car parking

There is a large visitor car park at Scarborough Hospital, which is located on the left as you arrive onto the hospital site.

Ticketless Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) technology is in operation, which makes it simpler and quicker to enter and exit our car parks. Cameras will read your vehicle’s number plate on arrival and on exit.

Payment can be made at the pay machines located near the car park when you are leaving.

Payment can be made by cash, card, apple pay, android pay or by downloading the Trust parking App. You will need to input your vehicle registration details at the time of payment.

Standard visitor parking tariffs are clearly displayed within the visitor parking area. The current tariffs are:

Up to an hour	£1.45
Up to 2 hours	£2.90
Up to 3 hours	£4.35
Up to 4 hours	£5.80
All day	£7.20

Visitors are required to pay for parking between 8.00am and 8.00pm.

There is a drop-off zone outside the North Entrance, accessed via Scalby Road, and a car park containing disabled and a small number of general spaces.

We offer several concessions to visitors and patients who attend the hospital regularly or for long periods of time. The list of parking concessions can be found here. To obtain any of these concessions please see ward or unit staff.
