	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 23/10/2018 answer text <p>It is not possible to estimate the cost to the public purse of the WannaCry cyber incident as no data was collecting during the incident on the cost of recovering data and IT systems or the cost on disruption to patient care. To determine the cost to the public purse would require collecting data from all organisations which itself would impose a disproportionate financial burden on them.</p><p> </p><p>The WannaCry attack was unprecedented in terms of scale and disruption affecting systems internationally international including several within the NHS infrastructure who fell victim due to basic vulnerabilities in their cyber defences.</p><p> </p><p>In their October 2018 publication on “Securing cyber resilience in health and care: a progress update”, the DHSC estimated the cost of WannaCry to the NHS being £92 million. The DHSC used a variety of factors (average number of NHS trusts involved) and categories (direct and resource) to estimate the financial impact on the NHS but this does not include a consideration of other organisations outside of the health and care who were also impacted. The DHSC report is available at the following link: <a href="https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/747464/securing-cyber-resilience-in-health-and-care-september-2018-update.pdf" target="_blank">https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/747464/securing-cyber-resilience-in-health-and-care-september-2018-update.pdf</a>.</p><p> </p><p>Since the 2017 WannaCry cyber incident, a number of steps have been taken to sharpen incident response plans across the NHS, providing new and mandatory training on cyber security to all NHS personnel and increasing investment in local infrastructure to develop a more robust cyber security posture.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Aylesbury answering member printed Mr David Lidington question first answered 23/10/2018 09:11:24 answering member 15 label Biography information for Sir David Lidington

These reports were triaged and prioritised using our new categorisation process, working closely with law enforcement where required. As was recently noted in the NCSC’s Annual Review, between 1 September 2017 and 31 August 2018, 557 of these incidents warranted an enhanced level of investigation. A smaller subset necessitated a cross-government coordinated response.
