Hospitals have been hit by more than 110 "major incidents" affecting their information technology systems over the past four months, according to a report in Computer Weekly.

They include the data centre crash in July which saw 80 National Health Service trusts lose central services provided by Connecting for Health, the NHS's £12.4bn IT programme, for up to four days. But others have seen digital X-ray systems and patient administration systems go down, with more than 20 of them affecting more than one hospital site, according to Computer Weekly.
