also use something else (I think a specialist *nix system of some kind) to 
store patient records and other medical notes on, for security reasons.

As someone who has worked in hospital IT and is married to a doctor, I can 
tell you that NHS software varies hugely from hospital to hospital. Much of 
the specialist software where I worked was in the form of badly written 
java apps which all required differently old versions of the JVM. Getting 
them to co-exist on the same machine was a nightmare at times!
