UK’s NHS struggling with security after WannaCry, losing 10K patient records last year

The UK National Health Service (NHS) misplaced 9,132 patient records in 2017, according to a report by think tank Parliament Street. 68 of the 200 NHS trusts were examined for the report, which also found that 94% of the trusts studied still rely on handwritten notes. The report recommended abandoning handwritten notes in hospitals and introducing a patient identity protocol.
