HOSPITALS —
FREE WIRELESS INTERNET
1322. Hon ALANNA CLOHESY to the parliamentary secretary
representing the Minister for Health:
I refer to all Western Australian
public hospitals, including privately operated hospitals that treat public
patients.
(1) Which
hospitals, if any, currently provide free wireless internet—wi-fi—access
to patients, listed by hospitals?
(2) Are there any
plans to provide free wi-fi to hospital patients in the near future; and, if
so, where?

I thank the honourable member for
some notice of the question.
(1) Fiona Stanley
Hospital has free wireless available for patients and the women's
health library at King Edward Memorial Hospital has access available for
patients. No other site has this service available.

are plans to provide free wi-fi to patients at Perth Children's
Hospital in the near future.
