DRIVERS of electric cars will be able to charge their vehicles at hospitals in Derbyshire in an award-winning low-carbon travel initiative.

Charging points have been switched on at community hospitals across the county this week. The move is part of a wider initiative by Derbyshire Community Health Services NHS Foundation Trust to reduce the environmental impact of travel by its staff and to support sustainability in the community.

The trust has switched on new charge points at eight hospital locations around the county, including Ilkeston, Ripley, and Walton.
