Re: Hospital charges for TV and Phone
Oh don't get me started on Patientline.
When my wife was in hospital last year I tried to make a call to her bedside phone.
Dial the number, get's answered by a recorded message telling me all about Patientline, then it tried to put me through, only to find out that she had switched the phone off.
Cunning the recorded message is just over a minute long so you get charged for a full minute before (not) being connected 
Don't remember the charges, but to keep you hanging on for over a minute before trying to put you through so they can get a full minutes charge from you is terrible.
Just looked at the Patientline website:
"Calls directly to the patient’s bedside cost 39p per minute off peak and 49p per minute peak"
I contacted them but of course got nowhere
