More than 1,000 planned operations and over 3,000 outpatient appointments have been postponed amid disruption caused by a cyber attack that impacted London hospitals.
Synnovis, an agency which manages labs for NHS trusts and GPs in south-east London, was the victim of a data hack on 3rd June 2024.
New figures, external from NHS England show that since then, 3,396 appointments and 1,255 elective procedures have been postponed.
In a statement, the chief executives of two affected trusts said they were continuing to manage the attack as a "critical incident".
