Techworld named the introduction of Wi-Fi at the Royal Hospitals Group, Belfast as the Public Sector Project of the Year, with systems integrator Telindus receiving the citation. Paul Duffy, IT Manager at the Royal Hospitals, said the technology, which became operational in March 2005, "has helped [the institution] move away from having to have doctors return back to ward-based stations to input information." Christy Donnelly, network manager for Royal Hospitals, also believes the hospital, because of the innovation, made "considerable cost savings" as the material ordering system has greatly improved.
