Playing bingo in hospital could get you home quicker

Bingo can cut recovery times

A new report has revealed the possible regenerative effects a game of bingo can have on those with ailments. Findings from Salisbury District Hospital show that patients generally end up back at home faster if their ward incorporates a game of bingo into its daily routine.

The findings also showed that depression rates dropped thanks to a few rounds of the nation's favourite pastime, helping individual hospital stays drop by around 25 per cent in all.

According to Dr Vivian Nathanson, head of the British Medical Association's Science and Ethics Department, bingo should be added to the list of activities available to patients whenever they stay in hospital.

Speaking on BBC's Today Programme, Dr Nathanson added that high morale was a big factor in a quick recovery, while stimulating activities also helped get people home sooner.
