The irony of GDP37 billion and many employment absences

Test and Trace.

The CEO of the app was somebody we know.

"In May last year NHS Test and Trace (NHST&T) was set up with a budget of £22 billion. Since then it has been allocated £15 billion more: totalling £37 billion over two years."

"Meg Hillier MP, Chair of the Public Accounts Committee, said:
"The £22 billion for test and trace is about the annual budget of the Department for Transport. Test and Trace still continues to pay for consultants at £1000 a day.

Yet despite the unimaginable resources thrown at this project Test and Trace cannot point to a measurable difference to the progress of the pandemic, and the promise on which this huge expense was justified - avoiding another lockdown – has been broken, twice.

DHSC and NHST&T must rapidly turn around these fortunes and begin to demonstrate the worth and value of this staggering investment of taxpayers' money. Not only is it essential it delivers an effective system as pupils return to school and more people return to their workplace, but for the £billions spent we need to see a top class legacy system. British taxpayers cannot be treated by Government like an ATM machine. We need to see a clear plan and costs better controlled."

Because we're losing £1 million or £1.2 millions a day despite clearing all mail and doing a terrific job.
And let's not forget I, we pioneered pop the packet on the floor.
We are achievers, it's all fine trust me.

How someone can land a job as CEO after such a clear failure is beyond me!
