An elderly relative has chronic leukemia so has regular chemotherapy and is extremely vulnerable to contracting any infection, not just Covid. She has now been admitted to hospital for a separate issue and has been put in a 6-bed ward. Would it be reasonable for me to phone and ask whether there is a single room she could be moved to, or should I just assume she would have been given one if there was one available? I know she's probably not the only one in that position, so how do they decide who gets the private rooms? Are they just for people with private medical insurance? For context, it's a Tier 3 area so no visitors allowed.

Extremely vulnerable and in hospital. Should she be in a single room?
