Contact Tracing: Software

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, for what reason health passports have been excluded from the NHSX track and trace mobile app.

The Isle of Wight phase of the app, which completed in June, has provided valuable information that we will now take forward as we develop an app which supports the entire NHS Test and Trace service. We will only release it nationally when we are confident we have it right.
