Imagine the outcry and costs if someone's own equipment caused an injury.
Look at PAT testing. Consider fire risks.
This doesn't imply that th eold TV donated by the League of Friends is any
better - but it should have been tested and the Hospital will have accepted
liability.

Absolutely. I suppose what I was really asking was why does this
hospital have a free-for-all on the TV front (a followup by the OP made
it clear that these are hospital-provided TVs) while most of those
around here see this sort of thing as an opportunity to make money, or
rather for some private firm who happens to have the contract to make
money.



In our local hospital Addenbrookes Cambridge, they use Patientline which
costs but as far as I know its free on the children's wards, so perhaps
not that bad
