Free TV in hospital and Wifi access for Patients in NHS Hospitals
Visiting a friend in an NHS hospital,I was alarmed to discover the little TV hanging over his bed costs £10.00 a day to watch, I suggested watching on his laptop and discovered free Wi-Fi is unavailable.Patients in hospital beds are charged 10x more to watch TV than prisoners in their cells.
https://www.dailystar.co.uk/news/latest-news/300357/Patients-fury-at-5-a-day-WIFi-rip-off in this day and age, Wi-Fi should be free across the globehttp://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-2780558/Mugged-hospital-beds-The-NHS-s-hidden-charges-cold-drinks-snacks-bedside-TV-sets-phones.html. patients waiting to be assessed to go home, can't until care plan has been put in place. This takes months. they can't keep abreast with the world whilst they wait because TV and Wi-FI charges are too high.
