The TVs, phones and internet systems are provided to patients by Patientline. This venture has nothing to do with the hospital, it stemmed from Tony Blairs promise that all hospital patients should have their own phones and TVs. These companies are private and from what I believe they are heading down the pan (check the stock market). Most hospital staff believe that they are a rip off. The company providing patientline removed all of our aerials when they installed the new system so that we are unable to play our own TV sets. The companies paid hospitals in order to have their equipment installed in them, so the hospitals did get some benefit but they receive none of the profit.
