Televisions The Foundation manages the integrated multi-access television system throughout the hospital. This offers a rental service that gives patients five free to air channels, five pay-TV channels and an information - educational channel and four radio channels. The system is self-access allowing patients to view the television immediately without the involvement of hospital staff. A Foundation staff member visits each bed daily to check the TV and collect rental payment. The benefits of this service has been acknowledged by everyone involved as it provides patients with some of the comforts of home without being a burden on medical and nursing staff.
