The\u00a0government’s approach to test and trace in England: interim report – National Audit Office (NAO)<\/strong>
\nThis is the first of two reports<\/a> which will form part of review of test and trace during the Covid-19 pandemic.

It finds that that overall NHS test and trace had achieved a rapid scale-up in activity in respect of both testing and tracing, and had built much new infrastructure and capacity from scratch. However, issues with implementation and potentially the initial choice of delivery model mean that it is not yet achieving all its objectives.<\/p>\n
