To date, the Department has issued two pieces of advice to the national health service on the use of mobile phones in health care premises in the form of good practice guidance. A first set of guidance was issued in August 2006, following a request by Ofcom. The set piece of guidance was issued in May 2007, following a recommendation by the Patient Power review group.
The guidance issued in May 2007 is available on the Department’s website at:

Copies have also been placed in the Library.
