The HSJ article really looks like it is both written by and sourced from people who are not too close to either this process no to software development. I would expect at least some beta versions not to pass all tests, it is not even clear whether they have submitted it for formal testing yet. They're not using "weird version control", they're using continuous release during development which is totally standard. They'll have to switch to version numbers and formal change control once they enter the NHS Digital approval process but I don't think they have yet. NHSX is delivering the app. Faculty (which is run by Marc Warner) has other government contracts but I don't think building mobile apps is really what they do.
