There are parts of the NHS who specifically do not patch.

  And hopefully they have well-designed and regularly audited firewalling and access control paradigms. There are good reliability reasons behind not just sucking down every patch, but it needs to be coupled with smart security work. And in any case that doesn't seem to be the issue here, per reporting. It's not NHS's reliability-critical systems that are owned, it's all their PCs.

    I'd hope so, too, but in what i've seen it generally isn't the case.

    Which they use to communicate between staff. I was at a renal clinic this afternoon and the staff there couldn't check to see if my doctor wanted them to do some bloods - so I can go back onto the transplant list. If I am unlucky this means I could miss out on a potential doner kidney due to the delay

    Don't forget to glue the USB ports; yes all of them. No, IT will need to setup a PXE server.
