Moorfields overnight?

Is it me or has the hostel bit disappeared from the website and 'staying overnight' lists hotels.
This is wrong, after my last operation I was (unexpectedly) in a very high level of pain. I couldn't open the other eye because it then hurt the operated eye even more, so I was fully blind, without pain relief, and the journey home in the cab frankly traumatic. He drove carefully and slowly but every movement hurt badly. It's no joke being in that position and what of people who can't afford a hotel room for themselves & a relative or friend.

That sounds really hard Space Cadet.
I just think it's wrong to have zero provision for people in a lot of pain, unable to open eyes, or distance. Why not at least have a room, 2 beds (1 for a relative) even for a nominal price for these situations?

Would the group support such a proposal?
