As a consequence, I am dependent on written news reports - AFAIK, today's committee meeting did not discuss the TnT app but more may be disclosed in the committee report, if one becomes available .....

Re: Dido Harding will face MPs on Wednesday 3 February
What a waste of time that was, as I said it would be.Jeremy Hunt was only able to state the bleedin' obvious as a conclusion so don't expect anything of use to come from this - like how the Hell he thinks the problem of 20,000 supposed non-isolating potentially infected people per day is going to be resolved?
Here's the latest data on how successful Dido's system really is:
"Out of the 275,351 cases transferred to the contact tracing system in the latest week, 236,583 (85.9%) were reached, 34,191 (12.4%) were not reached and 4,577 (1.7%) had no communication details provided. The proportion of cases reached has remained broadly similar since the start of November 2020. Since Test and Trace launched, 85.9% of all cases have been reached."
Given how many people just do not want to be contacted and/or do not want to cooperate, that is a respectable figure.
Short of making it compulsory and fining people for non-compliance I don't see how it could reasonably be expected to be any better, despite the incessant whinging of some in here?

Totally agree Zaphod.
I still haven't seen any figures from the haters. There again the truth always seems to shut their mouths.

MPs urge test and trace chief to prove system curbs spread of Covidhttps://www.theguardian.com/world/20...pread-of-covid
But in a sometimes testy exchange, Greg Clark, chair of the committee, pressed Harding on why she had failed to publish evidence for the claim, noting she had told the public accounts committee last month that the assessment would be published “soon”.
Harding defended the delay, saying the information needed to be “properly quality assured”, but expected it to appear in the next couple of weeks. Pointing out that this would mean more than a monthlong wait, Clark said: “For an organisation for which the watchword should be speed, this doesn’t seem to be a feature of your disclosure of the evidence.” Harding responded: “I completely disagree.”

Prevarication and procrastination .....
As has been very correctly said by Dido: testing and tracing alone are not a silver bullet.

Track and Trace has been used for years to stop the spread of different infections.
Our system is useless, it simply does not work.
