that GPs should be involved in test, track and trace for a reliable and trusted systems since they know their patients and may treat their contacts. This would be world beating, not car parks & call centres

Exactly, why use a reliable and functional public service when you can hire a private firm with no experience. Par for the course

Exactly should have been so at the beginning of the pandemic - they along with local public health are the infection control experts - but no the gov gave public money to their mates instead

Absolutely! Just said that somewhere else. Why weren't our GP services 'ramped up' to provide testing as well. We have all been played. I know I wanted to believe this government meant well at first but no they just used the pandemic to push through their hidden agenda.

Vietnam's world-beating contact tracing programme didn't have an app or call-centre. But a strong network of local health teams working together, involving 63 provincial & 700+ district-level CDCs & 11,000+ community health centres.

How they have been kept out of the process to date is suspicious in itself.
