excessive charges for long term patients in hospitals for TV.
Have a maximum charge limit for an individual patient account. At the moment the longest package is for 5 channels for there Weeks at £47. In my cases my partner has paid over £200 since February and ongoing, still in hospital till the end of June...
Why is this important?
People dealing with long term hospitalized relatives have enough burdens without having to continually payout for car park fees and TV. There is no other option for people on limited incomes who do not have access to lap top computers or iPad type devices to view the terrestrial TV channels. The only option is to pay for the patient line packages as there are no Ariel sockets for portable's as they were removed during the imposition of the patient line system when it was installed, on a monopoly bases it seems.
