Regarding TV, well, the hospital could allow patients to bring in their own TVs which would then be Tested (in according with the various electrical safety regulations) and the patient then allowed to watch TV free.

Regarding the Phone, they should go back to the old pay phone on a trolley, or allow mobiles.

Yes, I do think the systems a lot of hospitals have installed (my local included) are a rip off.

IIRC, when my mother was in hospital, the system cost her £10 every couple of days, and if we dared call her, it cost us 50p a minute.
