Rudd says NHS was prepared for cyberattack
All A&Es are back up and running after a cyberattack hit
almost one in five NHS England trusts, Amber Rudd has confirmed.
Speaking after an emergency COBRA meeting, the Home
Secretary confirmed that of the 248 NHS England trusts, 48 had been affected.
She said all but six trusts were now running as normal after
experts had been working "around the clock" to restore systems.
"I'd like to commend the work that NHS staff have done
to ensure the hospitals and patient surgeries continue to run smoothly,"
said Ms Rudd.
"In fact, 97% of the NHS trusts and hospitals... are
working as normal."
NHS trusts have come under fire for failing to stop using
outdated software that left them at risk.
