The hospital said the disease was not contracted in the hospital and it was "routine" to inform people with whom the patient may have come into contact how they might obtain any help, support or advice they need.

All these penalty charge notices were given out on the St Martins Queensway, with vehicles captured on CCTV.

The penalty for driving in a bus lane is a £60 fine, but that is reduced to £30 if it is paid within 14 days.

The city council, which enforces fines from the cameras, say anyone who feels they have received a penalty notice unfairly is entitled to appeal.
