Could someone please enlighten me, just out of interest, where the evidence is that SERCO developed the app. As I have the Scottish NHS app on my phone it doesn't affect me personally.
This quote is from Reuters, the news agency.
Some Facebook users have been falsely claiming that outsourcer Serco has developed the NHS Test and Trace app.
The NHS website says the app’s development team has staff from Accenture, Alan Turing Institute, NHS Digital, NHSx, Oxford University, VMware Pivotal Lab and Zuhlke Engineering. It also says that the National Cyber Security Centre had an advisory role in developing the app.
However, SERCO is not listed, so why is this rumour circulating?
I have no opinion on it, just curious. I'm happy to have the app on my phone, if it helps save lives. I believe it's up to each individual what they choose to do.
I do feel it is unacceptable, that some phones are not able to support the app.
