The Department has set up a review group to explore the issue of costs to users of the bedside television and telephone systems in national health service hospitals.The review group includes representation from the Department, the NHS, Connecting for Health, patient representation, the private sector, the Department's commercial solicitors, the Healthcare Commission and Ofcom.The terms of reference of the review group are:"Review all aspects of the charging structure:""Level of inbound call charges.""Requirement to cap outbound call charges at the standard national call rate.""The availability of some free television and radio, and free television for children.""Whether the cross subsidisation across the various services is appropriate or desirable.""Whether it is appropriate for a recorded message to be played in its entirety at the outset of each and every call."Review the requirement to install, with limited clinical exceptions, units at every bedside within a hospital site, irrespective of use. Could this be altered in respect of all new installations and the repair and renewal of units already installed?Review the requirement to offer services through a combined unit, offering television and telephone and capable of offering added value services. It should consider not only the extent to which NHS trusts have made use of the added functionality, or could make use in the future, but should consider what the appropriate minimum standards should be for all future installations and renewals.Review and clarify the guidance issued by the Department in respect of NHS trusts exercising their own discretion in determining the local policy on the use of mobile phones in hospitals.It will produce its concluding report in June 2006.

The publication ““Ambulance and other patient transport services: Operation, use and performance standards”” provides guidance on the eligibility criteria for patient transport services (PTS) and is available in the Library. This document states that medical need for non-emergency patient transport must be determined by a doctor, dentist or midwife and will depend upon the medical condition of the individual patient, the availability of private or public transport and distance to be travelled. The principle which should apply is that each patient should be able to reach hospital in a reasonable time and in reasonable comfort, without detriment to their medical condition.Primary care trusts (PCTs) are responsible for ensuring that there is provision of ambulance services (which could include patient transport services) to such extent as they consider necessary to meet all reasonable requirements. Therefore, it is for the local national health service to decide who provides patient transport services for eligible patients in their area. PCTs should apply the principles outlined in the aforementioned publication to consider each case on its merits or to develop local criteria for patient transport services use. The White Paper ““Our health, our care, our say: a new direction for community services”” signals our intent to broaden eligibility to patients referred for treatment in out of hospital settings, and during 2006–07 we will update guidance on eligibility for PTS to reflect the changes outlined in the White Paper.Patients that do not have a medical need for ambulance transport and who are on low incomes, or in receipt of benefits or tax credits, may be eligible for reimbursement of their travel expenses under the hospital travel costs scheme.

Bedside telephones represent an enhanced service, providing additional choice for patients. Outgoing calls cost 10p per minute. Patients not wishing to use those services, which are made available at no cost to the NHS, remain free to use hospital payphones, as they have always been able to do in the past.
