People seeking medical help via the NHS 111 service are being warned there could be delays after a cyberattack led to a"major" computer system outage.
The security issue was identified at 7am on Thursday morning, and it has affected the system used to dispatch ambulances, book out-of-hours appointments and issue emergency prescriptions.The Welsh Ambulance Service says the outage is significant and far-reaching - and affects all four nations in the UK.
Although it has"developed and deployed plans so services can continue to operate", this weekend is set to be busier than usual for 111 in Wales - and it may take longer for calls to be answered.NHS England says 111 services are still available and there is"currently minimal disruption", with"tried-and-tested contingency plans in place".
A Scottish government spokesman said it is aware of reported disruption to a system used by one of NHS Scotland's suppliers - adding that it's working with other health boards and the National Cyber Security Centre"to fully understand potential impact".
So the delays are nothing to do with the ‘unexplained deaths’ and people excess amount of heart attacks & strokes then Oh, and the massive number of illegal immigrants flooding to our little island?!

This Is Going To Hurt creator Adam Kay issues NHS suicide warningMany fans have been visiting the site hoping to find a memorial tree, which was planted in the show. Could this be partially linked to the fact that the doctors/nurses that issued the experimental toxic jab ( now proven to be toxic) and them realising that fact? That and the Nuremberg Code will come into play soon enough…”I was only following orders” won’t be a valid excuse 👍 Show this is to Jeremy Hunt for all the damage he has done to junior doctors and what they are going through due to his policies. Do you see ministers committing suicide? They are busy claiming expenses I suppose! THIS GOVERNMENT DOES NOT TREAT THESE WORKERS WITH ANY RESPECT, THINGS WILL ONLY GET WORSE, POOR PAY, POOR P.P.I. LONG HOURS, BULLYING, PATIENT ATTACKS, UNDERSTAFF!
