Since the attack, Synnovis have had to print out the blood test results when they get them from their laboratories, which are on site at Guy's and St Thomas. Porters collect them and take them up to the ward where that patient is staying or [to the] relevant department which is in charge of their care.
The attack, thought to be by the Qilin gang, has forced seven London hospitals run by GSTT and King's College trust to cancel undisclosed numbers of operations, blood tests and blood transfusions and declare a critical incident. Between them the trusts provide acute and various forms of specialist care for 2 million people across six boroughs in south-east London.
