Puggie Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 However the reason for this is that it brings in millions which is used for patient care. It is a no brainer situation for the finance of the hospital. Look no further than Harrogate District Hospital (conservative) which has a private ward called the [Harlow Suite] which allows NHS patients to pay for private rooms and restaurant-quality food. Again this generates good income for the hospital. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ECCOnoob Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 If the rent paid by Costa exceeds the profits given back to the hospital what's the problem? I completely agree. Whatever "profits" the WVRS was making I strongly suspect the lease charges to Costa far exceed it. Its a fantastic way for the hospital to top up their ever dwindling monies and will provide a service and quality to customers that is clearly in demand. If I was a patient or even a visitor, given the choice between a costa snack and a hospital refectory snack there is only one clear choice. There a lots of other things the volunteers can do in and around a hospital so those who still want to do something can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bilge Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 Good news. The Hallamshire ground floor is a fairly awful entrance to a big city hospital and the rest of the building isn't great for the visitor. Anything that takes your mind off the tedium of waiting for a lift has to be an improvement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elmambo Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 Bit like the Pharmacy. The hospital used to run it's own, but now a branch of Boot's the Chemist's seems to have sprung-up in the middle of the hospital and you have to queue with the rest of the customers - bizarre! Possibly this does generate income, but I do not like it and find it disturbing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
