Hundreds of GP surgeries lose online services after tech firm collapses

Patients at around 500 GP practices in England, nearly 10% of the total, cannot book or consult online after tech firm Silicon Practice went into administration. Practices in London, Gloucestershire, Norfolk and Wales are affected. GP leaders warned of major disruption, as over 40% of appointments are booked online. Patients are advised to phone their practice; the NHS app still works.
