Updated statement on global IT outage

Updated SECAmb statement

Please attribute to a South East Coast Ambulance Service NHS Foundation Trust (SECAmb) spokesperson:

“The majority of our infrastructure was unaffected by the global IT outage today (19 July) and we continued to respond to patients.

“We are pleased our access to the external systems affected has now been restored.

“We would like to thank all our colleagues and partner organisations for their hard work in responding to these issues.

“Our 999 and 111 services remain under pressure. The public can continue to support us tonight and across the weekend by only calling 999 in an emergency and by making use of alternatives including using NHS 111 Online for help and advice.”
