NHS trust cancels operations after computer virus hits IT system

All appointments and routine operations have been cancelled at three hospitals after a computer virus attacked critical systems.

Officials said around 1,000 patients would be affected at hospitals run by the North Lincolnshire and Goole trust after a major incident was declared due to the virus, which was identified on Sunday.

A spokesperson said staff had had to power down the majority of the trust’s network on Monday and specialists were now working to fix the problem.
