## Summary

Juniper Rayner, who was born extremely prematurely and has spent more than half her 27-month life in hospital, took her first family holiday after a technology upgrade restored contact with medical support. The incident showed how vital reliable phone or internet access can be for families managing complex health needs away from home.

Juniper, from Leicestershire, was born at 25 weeks weighing 1lb 8oz and has serious bowel problems, epilepsy and repeated infections. She relies on a central line for nutrition and has an ileostomy; her parents must seek urgent help if the line splits or her temperature rises above 38C. When the family found no Wi-Fi or mobile signal at their Cleethorpes caravan, Haven and Vodafone delivered a router within hours, allowing them to contact the hospital.
