The UK's National Health Service (NHS) is grappling with outdated IT systems, leading to significant operational challenges. Doctors report feeling as if they are working 'in the stone age,' relying on inefficient methods like emailing patient lists. This inefficiency is estimated to cost the NHS around 13.5 million working hours annually. The situation raises alarms about data security, especially considering the NHS manages records for nearly 67 million individuals. While the NHS collaborates with tech firms, there is an urgent need for modernization to prevent potential data breaches.
