They allow patients, visitors and staff to rent mobile chargers at an hourly rate. They are owned by private firm Joos Power and cost nothing to the NHS to install or maintain. But some trusts are paid a ten per cent share of revenue, typically ranging from £1 to £3 per hour. Around 129,000 patients waited longer than four hours in A&E last month.
