Debate

NHS: Electronic Patient Record Systems

Contribution

My Lords, as part of the tailored support that the Minister spoke about earlier, can she explain about the cybersecurity provisions? The ransomware attack on Synnovis last June meant patients’ blood groups were unable to be matched, so there was a call-out for O-negative blood. Patients transfer between the devolved nations of the UK, between Wales and England, and across the border, to a lesser extent, between Scotland and England. Is she having discussions about United Kingdom-tailored cybersecurity support for these rollout systems?
