Current Affairs NHS Cyber Attack

I'm sure there will be a few arses getting booted in board rooms around the world for not doing their job, and yes if there is other people high up the NHS who knew the danger and didn't flag it up should get booted too but all's they can do is refer it to the health secretary, my point is thoe, if he's the man who signs off these contracts to pay Microsoft to keep the software upto date, which it sounds like he is, then his job should be on the line also

Large investment plans and sign offs don't just happen by chance or whim. These things are prepared, tested and checked, impartially assessed, going through a number of stage gates before final sign off. If this happened and he refused to sign it then fair enough, but I'd bet that's not what happened.........

No it's ok mate don't worry about it. As I said wanted help understanding it. Really thought health Secretary had overall control of national issues such as computer systems and day to day running was left to each trust.

A good [topical] example is the deal between the Royal Free and DeepMind. The deal was signed by the Royal Free of their own volition, albeit under guidance on information security from the Department of Health, and within that specifically the National Data Guardian. Jeremy Hunt won't have had a clue about it.

He halted the viralware shutting down hospitals, probably saving lives. And this is how the rags treat him, disgusting.
