NHS hack has had ‘minimal’ impact on services, says Scotland’s Health Secretary

The NHS Dumfries and Galloway health board in Scotland has fallen victim to a cyber attack that left a “significant quantity” of patient and staff data potentially compromised. However, Scotland’s Health Secretary has reassured that the hack has had a “minimal” effect on patient services, although staff have reportedly had to change some working practices. The extent of the data breach is not yet clear.
