answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 25/10/2018 answer text <p>There has not been any formal assessment of the cost and capability of the in-house electronic health records system in use in the Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust or the feasibility of replicating such a system across the National Health Service in England. The availability of electronic health records is a key element of providing digitally enabled services and we expect all trusts to implement such systems. It is a local decision on how best to achieve this, taking into account the digital systems already in place and the capacity and capability available to implement a solution.</p> answering member constituency West Suffolk answering member printed Matt Hancock question first answered 25/10/2018 11:26:55 answering member 4070 label Biography information for Matt Hancock

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 11/07/2017 answer text <p>Whether a person has “internet access” can be measured in different ways, for example whether their household has a fixed broadband connection, or whether they own a smartphone. However, I am not aware of any estimates of the proportion of people who have internet access by age group in each parliamentary constituency.</p><p>Ofcom’s “Adults' media use and attitudes” reports also set out estimates of different types of “internet access”, including by age, and geographical location, but not at constituency level.</p><p> </p><p>Fixed broadband infrastructure is almost universally available across the UK, and we are bringing in a Universal Service Obligation to ensure everyone in the UK has the right to request an affordable connection to broadband of a minimum specified speed, from a designated provider, no matter where they live or work, up to a reasonable cost threshold.</p> answering member constituency West Suffolk answering member printed Matt Hancock question first answered 11/07/2017 12:03:10 answering member 4070 label Biography information for Matt Hancock
