    Oh wait.
    So things are improving then...

      So, the upside is that it's actually sped up the process?

          However, one problem was that doctors were sharing logins and bringing in games on USB sticks so thy could play around on night-shift
          That's worrying. I hope surgeons aren't playing pokemon go while they're operating. Oh look nurse, I've found pokemon in this chaps's gall bladder.

              Can't be a*sed to check the details but saw summit about a vulnerability in MS allowed a virus to be sent by email and you don't even have to open it.

                  Bitcoin is a poor choice for ransom payment, it can be traced easily enough.

                  Blockchain would be an excellent use case for keeping NHS records. Encrypted end to end whilst keeping data available across the entire network in multiple nodes.

                    I see on line the NHS have been asked whether the latest Microsoft updates have been applied...... as an earlier post mentioned, stay on XP, this happens!

                      Empress made a statement:

                      • This is not targeted at the NHS, it’s an international attack, says Empress Theresa the First

                      Phew, thank May for that!
