YOUNGSTERS at Southampton General Hospital's cancer unit will now have a more entertaining stay, thanks to the donation of a wide-screen television.

The gift was handed over to staff on the Piam Brown ward by Tony Smith, regional manager of pay-as-you-view TV company Homebuy.

Mr Smith won the prize, which was on offer to the employee who generated the most sales for the company in November and December.

Jane Buchanan, fundraising manager at Southampton General Hospital, said: "The old television in the Parents' Suite is on its last legs, so this couldn't have come at a better time."
