Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what the cost to the public purse was of the Isle of Wight pilot of the NHS covid-19 tracing app.
To date, the total cost of developing the National Health Service COVID-19 app is £10.8 million and our investment in the Isle of Wight phase has provided us with valuable information that we can combine with Google and Apple’s technology in a new solution to support the entire NHS Test and Trace service.
