Staff at Manchester's biggest NHS trust claim they have been left unable to access key patient data and forced to take paper notes following 'repeated' system outages over the last week.

They claimed the repeated outage had led to cancelled appointments and surgeries, and forced them to take paper notes which will now need to be individually scanned back into the system.
