The trust said it disconnected its systems to protect patient and staff data, which has resulted in delays and some disruption over the past week.

Medway Community Healthcare said: ‘Our focus has understandably been on continued safe and effective care, while NHS England oversaw a thorough and in-depth specialist investigation. This investigation has taken some time but we're pleased that following deep-dive research, there has been no evidence of unauthorised access to patient data.

‘As a result, we are now gradually and carefully reconnecting some of our priority patient systems, meaning that you should begin to see things return to normal. This will not be immediate and will not apply to all systems at present, so please bear with us as we adjust and reset.'
