Incident update

Statement on incident at Wirral University Teaching Hospital - updated on 04.12.24

A Wirral University Teaching Hospital spokesperson said:

“We are currently in the process of reinstating our main clinical system following the cyber security incident last week. As we work through our recovery the incident will be stepped down to a Business Continuity Incident.

“Some services will continue to be affected this week as systems are restored. Anyone with an outpatients appointment is advised to come to their appointment.

"Emergency treatment is being prioritised but there are still likely to be longer than usual waiting times in our Emergency Department and assessment areas.

“We urge all members of the public to attend the Emergency Department only for genuine emergencies. In an emergency please call 999. For non-urgent health concerns, please use NHS 111, visit a walk-in centre, urgent treatment centre, your GP, or pharmacist.”
