NHS trusts are experiencing disruption one week after a cyber-attack caused havoc in more than 150 countries.
The unprecedented ransomware breach froze computers across the health service last Friday, with hackers threatening to delete files unless a ransom was paid.
Operations and clinic appointments were cancelled and patients were still being diverted from accident and emergency departments on Thursday.
However, NHS England confirmed on Friday that ambulances were no longer being diverted to unaffected hospitals.
