NHS 'making good progress' in cyber-attack recoverypublished at 12:25 British Summer Time 15 May 2017
Stuart Bailey
BBC NewsThings seem to be returning to normal at Herfordshire's hospitals after the disruption caused by Friday's worldwide cyber-attack.
Both NHS trusts in the county say patients should continue to turn up for appointments today unless they've been contacted and told otherwise.
One man at Lister Hospital in Stevenage told us: "We saw the doctor OK and he had all the information in front of him but he was using paper records instead of the computer, obviously.
"There was a lot of shuffling around of paperwork."
Image source, EPAIn an updated statement on its website, East and North Hertfordshire NHS Trust, external said: "We are making good progress with restoring our clinical and non-clinical IT and telephone systems."
However, the trust's switchboard still isn't operating at full capacity and calls are taking longer to answer.
Non-urgent blood tests aren't being carried out and the diabetic screening service isn't currently running.
The trust that runs Watford, Hemel and St Albans Hospitals said there might be some delays to a few of its systems this week.
Meanwhile, NHS England bosses have said they fear there could be further cyber attacks on the health service.
Victory for Hamilton and Mercedes in Spanish GPpublished at 12:18 British Summer Time 15 May 2017
BBC SportLewis Hamilton and Mercedes claimed a stunning victory over Ferrari's Sebastian Vettel in the Spanish Grand Prix yesterday.
A clever strategic move by the Brackley-based team followed by Hamilton attacking and passing Vettel put the Stevenage driver in control and he defended successfully to the end.
Vettel had passed Hamilton off the start line to lead for the first half of the race but ended up out-flanked by rivals.
Hamilton's second win of the season cut his deficit to Vettel in the championship to six points after five of 20 races.
Next up is the Monaco Grand Prix in two weeks' time.

BBC NewsWe reported earlier how NHS services in Hertfordshire are still being affected by Friday's worldwide cyber-attack.
The county's police force has released advice on how to stay safe online, external.
Image source, WEBROOTHere are their tips...
- Ensure that anti-virus software is installed on your computer, that it is running and is up-to-date.
- Avoid opening unsolicited emails from people or organisations you do not know or trust.
- Avoid visiting websites that your anti-virus software warns you about.
- Do not use file sharing sites or pirated software as these are rife with malware.
The virus has infected 200,000 machines in 150 countries so far and NHS bosses fear further infections from ransomware.
Both NHS trusts in Hertfordshire said services were running again today after major disruption on Friday, but warned there could still be some delays.
