Berberis Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 If they didn't get paid then the companies would pull out..what then? has the NHS got money to spend on TV's? Like I said, there is plenty of option to provide premium services to patients such as films or pay per view channels. Making you pay for anything is wrong i my opinion, especially as this was something that was free to patients before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Money spent on providing leisure facilities is less money available for paying medical staff and services i.e what the NHS is there for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One TV can provide the free and premium services ... thats obvious. There is free stuff now (one channel). Hospitals had phones too, until this company came along and put the TV/phone systems in and now they are gone. If the NHS could provide TV's and Phones for well over 50 years, why cant they continue?

Because theyd rather spend the money on medical staff and medical care perhaps? There are still payphones and some tvs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kidorry Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 Well settle an argument for us, and find out if their is a free telly available in a day room... When I visited my pal in the Hallamshire a couple of years ago there was a small tv room on his ward but there was only 1 channel on it,B.B.C. There is also a tv in the eye clinic.

I remember, many years ago, the hospital TV's had a sign that said they had been provided by the Hospital League of Friends. http://www.sth.nhs.uk/work-for-us/volunteering/league-of-friends Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its not a alien concept to offer a free service along side a premium one on the same device/delivery method Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
