What can you buy with £37 billion?

It does indeed. Glad somebody else picked up on what I was saying.

Yet some people, like @ABHBORO seem to want to defend the government spending £500 of OUR money on something that doesn't work at all.

I honestly wonder where some people's heads are at? What drives them to say the things they say.

Again that’s only if you think doing tests is a waste of money. I agree the trace side of it is poor but from my experience the test side is really good

That's if you're still under the illusion that testing costed 36million pounds. You can't provide any figures for that, nor can you compare it to other countries for some reason. Which is strange because you seem certain of something that pretty much everyone else doubts. Again, I would worry what goes through the head of someone who is trying so hard to defence such a failed system. It's weird to me

So you think test and trace works then? Can you compare money spent on contracts for testing to other countries? I suspect we have spent a LOT more and delivered a lot less. No one has come even close to wasting as much public money as us on a failed system. Unless you know otherwise? Although I've asked you three times now so I assume you don't

Didn't know that, but having worked with Infosys in the past, that cost would likely escalate with add-ons.

No Smoggie, it was at cost. If you wanted it configured and installed it was charged at Infosys' extortiant daily rate, about a grand a day for an architect. It would take quite a while to get up to 37 billion, or even 1 billion, or even a million.

Infosys do a great deal pro-bono around the world. We are expensive, absoloutely, but spend a great deal of our profit, time and resources on charitable efforts.

your boring me now.

Not claiming it’s good/bad/cost effective just pointing out that the £37 billion cost is for test and trace and not track and trace that you have been mislead into believing

"You're "

And my point is you are expending an awful lot of energy to try and argue for track and trace. Which, by any measurement, is a failed system that has had billions put into it.

So I'll ask you again, how do you think it compares to other countries? Are you happy that over £500 of YOUR taxes has been spent on the system?

The test side yes. Because we need to do test
And I’ve also pointed out to you that I’m dyslexic and you still keep pointing out my spelling mistakes . What a absolute horrible small minded person you are

I don't point out your spelling mistakes. We all make them. I'm pointing out your bad grammar. Which you can correct.

Can you explain to me why you are happy with spending g such a massive amount of money on track and trace. Even if you think that 85% is for testing. Can you justify that expenditure? Do you comprehend what a preposterously massive number that it? Compared to what other countries have spent? Or are you innumerate as well as illiterate?
