"Arrangement that could save a huge amount of money"

About: Royal Devon & Exeter Hospital (Wonford)

(as the patient),

1. Having experienced some months in hospital I have heard day after day (4-10 times) the nurses first say that they will have to move me back up the bed and also the mattress. I think a huge amount of money could be saved by a quite cheap arrangement by cutting the high number of nurses having damaged backs - then having time off or having to finish nursing: Hooks could go around the bar at the end of the bed to prevent mattress and therefore patient sliding down bed.

2. Similar set up using webbing sides to mattress and cords and hooks (for bar) to attach to top bar of bed frame
