A software outage affecting some NHS services across the UK was caused by a cyber-attack, it has been confirmed.
Advanced, a firm that provides digital services for NHS 111, said the attack occurred at 07:00 BST on Thursday.
The attack affected the phone service and electronic referrals to out-of-hours GPs, but the NHS said disruption was minimal.
The National Crime Agency said it was "aware of a cyber incident" and was working with Advanced.
