On 3 June 2024, Synnovis experienced a ransomware cyber-attack. The hack affected all Synnovis IT systems, resulting in interruptions to many of its pathology services. Russian criminal group Qilin claims to be behind the ransomware attack. It published 400GB of stolen data online after a £40 million ransom demand allegedly went unpaid.

A sample of the stolen data includes patient names, dates of birth, NHS numbers and descriptions of blood tests. The data may also include test results.

The NHS should be in touch to notify affected patients. If you have not received this notification, it is unlikely you are affected. If you have received notification of your involvement, you could have a NO-WIN, NO- FEE compensation claim.

Our simple eligibility checker provides instant clarity. Answer a few straightforward questions, and you’ll know if you could qualify for an NHS data breach group action claim.

We cannot say how much compensation you might get if you win your data breach case. Each claim is based on its merits and your solicitor will work to get the compensation owed to you.

In the UK, if a group of people have experienced loss, or otherwise been harmed by an organisation’s law breaking, they can come together to fight for justice. Levelling the playing field when standing up to big businesses, group actions prove that there is strength in numbers. At Join the Claim, we bring consumers and law firms together to ensure these group actions are as powerful as possible.

We won’t charge you a single penny. And we ensure any law firms we connect you with operate on a no-win-no-fee basis. If you win, the law firm will either take its fees from your compensation payment or recover these from the defendants.
