Can anyone identify what this box is for?

My guess is that it's a charger for something that slots into the top. Either a pager, or a light. It's plugged into a 3 pin socket.

Yeah, that hole in the top is definitely suspicious. I mean, it's in a hospital but I think it's in the middle of a thoroughfare. One would think a pager charger would be nearer to a desk or a workstation.

Could it be the left overs of one one of these?

The 3 pin socket could be in that location because of one of those. And someone's just making use of a spare power socket to plug in a device charger.
 
Honestly, I thought this forum was full of working class boomers. Have ya'll never stepped into an asbestos built office building on a crappy industrial park?

It is a pneumatic thermostat:

It doesn't look anything like that. If I Google pictures of pneumatic thermostats they all look different to it.

I promise you it is that. They are very common in crappy old office buildings. They come in all sorts of shapes and sizes.
 
Another photo will be forthcoming.
I'm going to have to assume you work, or at least are scheduled to attend this said hospital. Otherwise, you really shouldn't :p



Nurse: Excuse me sir, what are you doing in this ward?
OP: Just taking another photo of your whatchamagizmo thingamy for some interNerds.
Nurse: Security...
 
Nurse: Security...

This is what would actually happen, knowing some NHS security guards.

Nurse: SECURITY! Security? Where is security?
Security arrives back from an unscheduled, uncommunicated visit to Poundland 40 minutes later.
Nurse: Security, we had an emergency here, where were you??
Security guard: Hahahahaah. You scarier dan me... haha. I'm sure you dealt widdit good. Walks off and falls asleep in a corner.
