    Go back to the old ways…..this paperless society just isn’t working, it’s creating more headaches and expenses than ever. Everyone blames the computer for delays, rubbish service and problems, so sort it out. If these hackers can get in, the security system is useless. I always thought the NHS had encryptions on encryptions, just goes to show even the gov can’t get it right!

    It is a problem with digital recording, its a problem of privatisation, and companies expecting huge profits from public contracts

    Probably internal. I agree with comment about sabotage. NHS is a total mess. Negligence has become the norm.

    NHS systems are so out of date I’m amazed it’s not more. Even basic ward pcs were running windows xp long after it was obsolete. Has much changed in the past decade? Much like the justice system runs on Robert Maxwells outdated software, this is problem throughout the country.

    The government & the NHS just sold us out to Israeli tech firms heavily invested in spyware, hacking, monitoring etc. To a company called Palantir.

    The ransom actually starts when the NHS farms out tasks it should do in house with closed systems. Instead the work is externalised to private companies who make a profit from the taxpayer and reduce security through the data handling. 😡

    We really can’t go 100% digital. We are not ready.
    I would expect the NHS to have the highest safes guards, clearly they haven’t. Scary!

    Why is no one telling us how to find out whether our personal data is compromised? Security issues are one thing but it’s a bit like closing the barn door after the horse has bolted.

    They will find out the hard way that fancy technology with billions of pounds of research put into it, isn't quite as good as a pen and paper.
