That is an oversimplification and the precise point of our disagreement. I don't believe "administrative" devices are non-critical to providing care. The last time I saw an NHS doctor examine an xray - it was an XP box. Is organising ER triage non-critical too?
Distribution, redundancy and routing around faults should be our vision for these systems and IMHO edge devices get closer to that. There are many ways a hospital can still shunt data around and use it locally in an emergency without giving up due to failure of remote systems.
