Petition Stop charging patients for recreational services in hospitals.

In hospitals, patients have to pay money to use recreational services offered such as TVs.

Electricity is wasted to power the TVs to show adverts, yet the patients have to pay money if they want to watch a film or channel.

More details

It is immoral to be charging a patient for recreational services when they have already been installed and are already using electricity to display adverts.

Being entertained is an essential element of human biology and psychology, so why are patients being denied of that?

A compromise for not making TVs free would be to provide free books, magazines, or games which could be donated to the hospital by people.
