There is literally 1 comment using the word "virus" and it's part of a chain joking about the blue screen.

>It's not misinformation but it's also not the only reason but it's a significant part.

I wonder if there's any analysis of the various factors affecting patient admission times.

Thanks for this link, that's more what I was asking for. Though it's not directly evidence of your initial claim.

My experience with hospital admissions in a&e is that it's mostly other factors and not issues with the computer systems. But I don't have the information to state how much impact these hacks are having.

It is a joke about the blue screen but does have elements of truth.

I'll leave the conversation here as it's run its course but I also repect your views. Your experience is very true and mostly it is other factors but it's not the only factor and but my experience also shows the hack side and it's still extremely significant and I am aware that it's very concerning to the security services and the NHS. The NHS is extremely vunrable and regardless if you believe what I have wrote I'm aware that there is more to come but like I said I respect your views and reasons for being unsure or questioning what I wrote here. I am just a random in the internet and your concerns about the legitimacy of what I have stated are valid.
