Cyber attacks ‘crippled Scots NHS systems’ with patient records stored on pieces of paper

A cyber attack on Scots NHS systems led to significant disruption, with access to patient records blocked for months. Health Secretary Humza Yousaf is accused of hiding details of the hack, with fears that private files for millions of patients may have been stolen. NHS National Services Scotland and the company behind the affected Adastra software could not confirm whether patient data was compromised. The Adastra system is still partially non-functional, affecting mobile medics’ ability to update patient records.
