No. They followed a political belief that the state should be dismantled so they outsourced test and trace to a national startup instead of scaling out the existing, local based, infrastructure.

That's why test and trace is 22 billion spaffed up the wall. Now they've changed the way they calculate the figures and are claiming that means the service has improved!

Their fear of "the state" has cost hundreds of lives. They're playing politics with our future.
