NHS hospitals have only a few weeks left to get rid of their fax machines and are in 'desperate need of new systems' With an NHS ban on fax machines due to come into force next month, Dean Kirby asks why this outdated technology is still in use on the wards.
In an NHS hospital somewhere in the UK, a doctor is standing over to a fax machine waiting for a patient's medical records to arrive from a GP surgery.
The machine finally whirrs into life - only to be halted midway through delivering its life-saving message because of a paper jam.
This isn't a scene from a 1980s TV medical drama. It is happening right now in hospitals across 21st century Britain. iNews
