The issues with access to Google from N3 have been happening for weeks now - usually resulting in having to complete a CAPTCHA, but sometimes failing completely.
N3 was never designed to be an Internet egress, but most Trusts use it for that to save paying for their own Internet circuits and keep their network more simplistic (N3 is centrally funded, free-of-charge to those using it to access nationally hosted clinical systems - it's primary use).
However N3 is on it's way out, to be replaced with HSCN https://digital.nhs.uk/health-social-care-network
