Actually, The hospital possibly will NOT take it!! We had some stuff after my dad passed away & the hospital was very reluctant to take any of it.
There was a brand new walker & they said it may have some unseen damage so would be in a position to take it for H&S reasons.
There was a chair lift which the HSE had paid most of & they didn't want to know, it ended up being scrapped (which was shameful - we also called the manufacturer and wouldn't take it or reinstall it elsewhere if we got someone to take it. )
The only thing they took was a chair, and even with that, they made it seem like they were doing us a favour.
You'd probably be better contacting a nursing home or a related charity who may know someone who could get use of it.
