Cyber attacks on London’s hospitals continue to disrupt services

Cyber attacks have severely impacted doctors’ surgeries in London, leading to cancellations of thousands of operations and appointments. The group affected most is Synnovis, a pathology services agent for NHS trusts and southeast London GPs. Blood testing is primarily restricted to urgent cases, resulting in a significant decrease in daily tests conducted. A GP confirms that many patients may suffer due to this limitation in services. Medics’ strikes continue amid these issues, with the British Medical Association stressing that the dispute is over pay and not related to the cyber attack.
