Sure, but if you're spending money on triaging, queue management systems, backlog reporting etc. you're addressing the wrong problem - put that money into healthcare instead!

Oh, and using the cases of specialised clinical systems and scheduling server patching as excuses for not patching desktops doesn't wash. ("NHS Digital told us that the majority of NHS devices infected were unpatched but on supported Microsoft Windows 7 operating systems.")
