RADIOLOGY services at Basingstoke and North Hampshire Hospital were back to normal by Tuesday after last Friday’s cyber attack affected X-ray facilities and a small number of computers linked to CT scanners.

According to Hampshire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, the hospital was the only one of the three hospitals for which it is responsible to be hit by the attack, with both the Royal Hampshire County Hospital at Winchester and Andover War Memorial Hospital unscathed.

The Trust has also confirmed that there was no loss of patient or other data at any of its hospitals.

In advising patients to attend appointments as normal, unless specifically contacted by the hospital, a Trust spokesman on Monday said: “Staff worked very hard over the weekend to minimise the impact on patients and as a result there have been few cancelled appointments.”

The walk-in X-ray service at Basingstoke hospital remained closed for patients referred by their GP on Monday, but they were able to attend either Winchester, Andover or Alton Community Hospital instead.

But by Tuesday the Trust was able to confirm that the radiology services affected by the national cyber attack had been restored.

In a statement the Trust said: “There has been no need to cancel any clinics or operations. Staff have worked very hard to avoid disruption to patients and to minimise impact on our services, while our contingency and emergency plans worked well.”

In apologising for any inconvenience caused, the spokesman added: “Our priority has been to restore our radiology services, and like other Trusts affected working with NHS Digital, we will continue to do all we can to protect our systems for the future.”

The Trust was one of at least 16 health service organisations hit by Friday’s “ransomware” attack, using malware called wanna decryptor which took down computers across the world.
