Explanation:

neutral  B D Finch: Hotel services are those services provided in hospital that are not directly medical or nursing. The distinction started to be made in the UK around the 1980s, as a way of reducing services directly provided by the NHS. (i.e. privatisation and cuts.)

agree  philgoddard: I'd never heard of this before, but the video is aimed at healthcare professionals who will know what it means. You could also say "patient services". And I think "hubs" sounds odd - "units" would be better.

  -> Thanks Phil. While I might have liked "patient services", that term is already nobbled by the complaints service!
agree  Yolanda Broad: I like Phil's patient services and agree that units is better than hubs.

  -> Thanks Yolanda, but re "patient services", which means something quite different, see: http://www.sth.nhs.uk/patients/patient-services
