A number of hospitals have been hit by a large scale cyber attack, NHS England has confirmed.
Hospitals across the country appear to have been simultaneously hit by a bug in their IT systems, leading to many diverting emergency patients. NHS England said it was aware of the problem and would release more details soon.
Meanwhile doctors have been posting on Twitter about what has been happening to their systems.
A screen grab of a instant message conversation circulated by one doctor says: “So our hospital is down … We got a message saying your computers are now under their control and pay a certain amount of money. And now everything is gone.”
