Isn't it strange that NHS in Wales appears unaffected by the hack .. NHS in Wales is run by Labour....

Not true. Wales also affected.

I've said for sometime that now technology has caught up, it is the time to centralise the whole of the NHS tech.
-
Yeah, centralise it so it can all be hacked at once. Good plan.
-
They probably wouldn't be running Windows in that centralised environment... Malware is a problem people choose to have.
-
While there are many steps that can be taken, nothing is ever hack proof.
-
Not invulnerable to an attack, but, at least, not vulnerable to automated attacks like these.
-
Everything is vulnerable at one level or another, centralised systems wouldn't work for the NHS.

The doctor is seeing a symptom of a much wider disease of technological incompetence and head-burying in the NHS. Central system needed now.

I worked with NHS IT & the problems are both obvious and easy to solve if left and right hand could work out what each other are doing.
-
Indeed! I do wonder if a 3yr Royal Commission National Dialogue on NHS might break the political lines to generate a consensus way forward
-
It simply needs heads banging together, political agreement to the need & commitment to the project. Not much time or money really needed.

NHS paid Microsoft to extend support of XP, will do same for Windows 7. Legacy systems often cited as an excuse but that's nonsense.

This is serious of the highest order! But also shows that when you cut staff & money, increase workloads, mistakes happen

That's interesting. Which job cuts in particular have led to this cyber attack, do we think?
-
When you cut back office & frontline staff that increases the workload on others. At some point mistakes or accidents will happen.
-
The NHS needs money, resources, morale and much else besides, but blaming a cyber attack on a lack of them is silly and weakens the case.
