Fund free TV for all patients in NHS hospitals.

After a recent stay in hospital it cost me £15.80 to watch tv for 2 days, which is wholly unfair if not extortionate. I would like you to debate banning this charge for channels that are free elsewhere.

Luckily I was able to afford paying it (despite the unfairness) but I was the only person on my ward to be watching because the other patients weren't in a position to pay for 1 reason or another, how can it be right that when people are vulnerable they are able to be exorbitantly charged for something that is free (as long as you have a licence, which is a fraction of the cost of this system) at home at home
