Computer services remain offline at all Waikato DHB hospitals nearly two-weeks after a ransomware cyber attack brought it all to a grinding halt.

The DHB says while good progress is being made to restore all IT systems, it won't commit to any timeframe.

Over the weekend a small number of elective surgeries were carried out and outpatient clinics held.

Clinics and surgeries are expected to again run at about 80 percent capacity this week.
