Written by News on 13/05/2017
A number of NHS organisations say they have been or continue to be affected by the cyberattack, which has caused major disruption.
The list includes trusts that were directly hacked and those that shut down their systems as a precaution.
Some trusts contain several hospitals, and as many as 40 hospitals are thought to have been impacted in total.
Dr Anne Rainsberry, NHS Incident Director, said A&E departments were still open to people needing emergency treatment, but added: "More widely we ask people to use the NHS wisely while we deal with this major incident."
