Meanwhile, QMC is sharing all the information it receives on the unfolding situation on its website. Patients can check whether their personal data has been affected by logging into the MMH app or website, he says. "We’re leaving it up to patients to make their own decision on that, we can’t do that on their behalf." Live medical records, GP notes, specialist referral documents, prescriptions, secure messaging and appointment systems were not accessed or affected, the company says.
