An NHS Health Trust in south London warned earlier this year that its IT

system could be exposed to "catastrophic implications".

St George's NHS Foundation Trust hasn't been affected

by the current cyber attack, but BBC London has seen papers

from the 'Board Trust' that shows it had concerns

It survived the great Fire, two world wars and the possibility of

closure. But it is a very modern threat which has caused disruptions

across the hospital trust. The biggest cyber attack in the history

the load on the systems. They say they are developing a long-term

strategy to deliver improvements to the IT systems. The Home Secretary

says there is always more to be done to protect us against computer

viruses. Services are not back to normal yet and the full effect of

this silent attack are never to be known.
