England’s test-and-trace system has “failed” to deliver on its main objectives despite its “eye-watering” multi-billion-pound budget, a UK Parliamentary committee has said.
In a damning report published on Wednesday, the Public Accounts Committee of the House of Commons said the mass testing scheme “has not achieved its main objective to help break chains of COVID-19 transmission and enable people to return towards a more normal way of life” despite being handed an “eye-watering” budget of £37 billion ($51 billion) over two years.
