Having been informed on this forum that Derriford do offer free parking for people with cancer, I can assure everyone that I was told wrongly about this matter.
I went for my appointment on the recently, to the car parking desk on level 6, with with the appointment letter, requesting a free parking pass.
I was informed in to uncertain terms that they did not do free parking but, reduced parking rate at £1. 20.
Would someone please sort this matter out, it's bad enough having cancer, let alone adding stress.

Do you have a similar story to tell?

Good morning, Please be advised that unfortunately Derriford Hospital do not operate the parking system, this is actually under a separate contractor. I can clarify that having spoken to parking contractors this morning; I have been advised that the parking fee for patients attending the Oncology department is £1.20 per day. I am sorry to hear that you have suffered unnecessary stress regarding parking issues and hopefully this will clarify thing for you. With best wishes Genny
