Blue badge query

I have a blue badge for my Dad. Our local hospital has a very small carpark and not many disabled spaces so parking is a nightmare. If I dropped him off and then parked on a yellow line outside of the carpark - it might be some distance away - am I likely to get into trouble?
The guide book that came with the badge says I can use it if I "need to park at the place where he is being dropped" - but I can`t park AT the place!!

That's silly. It's the Council who issue Blue Badges and it would be a Parking Warden who gave you a ticket - nothing to do with the hospital!
