Can I claim my private room hospital stay as a tax deduction?

I had a child in 2015. My insurance covered part of my private room stay at the hospital. Can I claim the part I paid as a tax deduction? CRA website just says "hospital services" are eligible medical expenses, but is not very specific.
Also, the stay occurred in 2015, but was not paid for until 2016. Can I still claim it as an expense for the 2015 tax year?
