A review has been ordered of Scottish NHS IT systems after a failure forced a major health board to cancel hundreds of appointments.
By late this morning, NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde postponed 459 outpatient appointments, 14 inpatient procedures, 43 day cases and 48 chemotherapy treatments.
Over the past two days around 7,400 patients have been able to attend appointments, according to the health board.
Technicians have been working to restore the clinical and administrative systems at the health board since yesterday.
Scotland's Health Secretary Alex Neil instructed that a review be carried out "to make sure that these systems are robust".
