We urgently need a true NHS Test and Trace system.
Serco got the contract to organise the Test and Trace system last May. The contract is coming up for renewal. But the system is seriously deficient, lacking proper contact tracing and the necessary comprehensive support service so that people can isolate without fear of the consequences for their families and finances.
With that in place, more people would feel able to get tested if unwell. Now more than ever, having got back to low rates of infection in the UK but with the Indian variant appearing to be a significant threat, a true NHS Find, Test, Trace, Isolate and Support System is vital.
