Eighteen NHS trusts are running Windows XP PCs without the latest security patches, according to an investigation conducted by The Register.
Support for Windows XP ended in April this year, with organisations now requiring a Premier Services Agreement (PSA) with Microsoft to continue receiving patches for the operating system.
Yet, 18 of the trusts who responded to a Freedom of Information Request from The Register admitted that they had no such agreement in place. Some of those trusts were running as many as 4,500 Windows XP machines.
