Global IT outage: NHS warns of GP disruption next week – as travellers report long delays and lost baggage | UK News

The NHS has warned of ongoing disruption into next week following a global IT outage. The outage, caused by a botched update rather than a cyber attack, began on Friday, resulting in “blue screens of death” on many Microsoft Windows PCs worldwide. Airline passengers reported significant delays, lost luggage, and cancelations over the weekend, while pharmacy services were also significantly impacted.
