All NHS buildings are to get free Wi-Fi

All NHS buildings are to be provided with free Wi-Fi, health secretary Jeremy Hunt has announced.

It is hoped the provision, which is being made possible thanks to a £1 billion technology fund, will improve the treatment and experience patients receive.

It is not yet known when all buildings will be able to offer free Wi-Fi, but the government has said it anticipates the NHS will be “digital and paperless” by 2020.
