Wales NHS unaffected by cyber attack

Cyber attack on NHS England

The NHS in Wales has not been affected by the cyber attack which has hit large parts of the service in England and Scotland.

A major incident has been declared as staff cannot access patient data, which has been scrambled by ransomware.

There is no evidence patient data has been compromised, NHS Digital has said.

A Welsh Government spokesperson said: "We have had no reported cyber incidents affecting NHS Wales but are monitoring the situation closely."

It comes amid reports of cyber-attacks affecting organisations worldwide.
