>even in this post below you can see the frustration of NHS staff at the amount of viruses on the computer and how they don't work (due to the hacks).
Are you referring to the joke about the screen being blue?
>I am not going to claim I have evidence
Ok. So there is evidence that the events in the article are happening for other reasons. And you don't have evidence for your claim.
I'm not going to deny that the NHS compute systems get hacked but to imply/claim that this is a significant reason for the delays seems like misinformation at this point.

>It's causing delays in the admin side on admitting patients causing backlogs also causing bed blocking on the discharging of patients
Do you have any evidence of this? I am aware of the issues reported in the article where the problem that you are mentioning was not involved.

How is this relevant to the issue in the article?

There is literally 1 comment using the word "virus" and it's part of a chain joking about the blue screen.
>It's not misinformation but it's also not the only reason but it's a significant part.
I wonder if there's any analysis of the various factors affecting patient admission times.

Thanks for this link, that's more what I was asking for. Though it's not directly evidence of your initial claim.
My experience with hospital admissions in a&e is that it's mostly other factors and not issues with the computer systems. But I don't have the information to state how much impact these hacks are having.
