Hospitals and GPs to start providing free Wi-Fi

Government looks into viability of turning whole NHS estate in England into massive free Wi-Fi zone

Every hospital and GP surgery in England is likely to start providing free Wi-Fi in a move by the NHS to keep patients entertained and help doctors and nurses use much more technology in their work.

The government's National Information Board (NIB) has commissioned a feasibility study into the viability of turning the whole NHS estate in the country into a massive free Wi-Fi zone.
