Malware has forced three UK hospitals to cancel routine operations and outpatient appointments.

The Northern Lincolnshire and Goole NHS Foundation Trust says a “major incident” has been caused by a “computer virus” which infected its electronic systems over weekend.

The hospital has taken the decision to shut down the majority of its computer networks in order to combat the virus.

Dr Karen Dunderdale, the trust’s deputy chief executive said that the hospital following expert advice, had shut down most its systems so it could be isolated and destroyed.
