Microsoft outage hits UK health service, union says
A Microsoft outage was having a “serious impact” on Britain's National Health Service on Friday, GMB union public services head Rachel Harrison said.
Harrison said staff taking emergency calls were unable to refer patient details in the normal way, creating what she called a “massive backlog” and a risk of chaos.
Uncertainty notes
The supplied information did not include Microsoft or National Health Service statements on the outage or its scale.
The duration of the outage and the number of affected patients or calls were not supplied.
