There is literally 1 comment using the word "virus" and it's part of a chain joking about the blue screen.

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.

>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.
