NHS test results hit by computer system glitch

Doctors have complained of “chaos” as an NHS computer problem left them unable to access test results

The suspected technical glitch, which hit the NHS across Wales yesterday, also meant patient contact details could not be accessed.

The British Medical Association (BMA) in Wales said it understood at least half of GP services were affected.

Less than a year after the Wannacry attack, the problems prompted fears the NHS was again a victim of deliberate online disruption, but the National Cyber Security Centre said they were caused by technical issues and not the result of a cyber attack.
