GCHQ and Patches

Can someone explain to me why it costs a lot of money to install the patches on an NHS network when Microsoft releases them? Is there some reason why they don't want to install the patches?

How come an amateur but hacker registered the domain and stopped the malware and GCHQ and all the other world's intelligence agencies didn't understand this would work?
