Rejected petition Hospital TV Charges - Hospedia
Rejected on
For a patient in hospital to watch basic tv channels, they have to pay £7.50 per day. Some people do not have the money to pay this and therefore cannot watch freeview channels or listen to the radio.
Dont they think they make enough money from overpriced vending machines and car parking charges without charging oap's and teminally ill people to watch something they already pay a tv license for.
I want the government to reduce tv prices in hospital or provide a free service.
