Services still available but will run at reduced capacity over the weekend
People contacting the NHS 111 service have been warned of delays due to a significant computer system outage caused by a cyber-attack.
The issue is affecting some services across the UK such as the system used to refer patients for care, including ambulances being dispatched, out-of-hours appointment bookings and emergency prescriptions. The perpetrators are understood to be cybercriminals rather than a nation state.
