On the app, the Secretary of State told us it was crucial and would be ready by mid-May. Experts warned him it would not work.

On the contrary, ensuring that we use technology to its best possible effects is incredibly important. I would have thought that the shadow Secretary of State would want to side with and support the efforts of all those, including in the NHS, who are doing the work to ensure that we can get this up and running as quickly as possible.
