This question was answered on 11th September 2017
The Department does not hold any information on the provision of broadband to National Health Service patients in wards in Greater Manchester hospitals. However, NHS Digital ran a survey in March 2017, finding that, in 10 out of the 14 trusts in Greater Manchester who responded to the survey, five had Wi-Fi coverage of 70% or more on their wards and publicly accessible places and two had 100% coverage.
