A major computer outage at Wellington and Wairarapa hospitals since four o'clock this morning has forced the cancellation and delay of many appointments and procedures.

Te Whatu Ora says outpatient clinics and non-urgent treatment is being disrupted, and says those affected will have their appointments rescheduled.

RNZ's Ruth Hill has been following this and spoke to Rowan Quinn.
