Haven't the UK delivered an ID system, Gov.UK Verify?
- denton-scratch 5y agoYes. I think you can still use it; but it was not wildly popular. The NHS is busy trying to sell all of our health data to companies like Google. Again. The NHS dataset is the most valuable and complete in the world - it's worth a lot of money, and it's unique. Unfortunately, NHS Digital haven't a clue how valuable - they sold a million records to the Society of Actuaries, for less than 4 grand. So I don't trust any app from the NHS to be nice with my data. I think the app will be withdrawn soon, because most people don't use it. Anyway, I simply don't carry a smartphone. I don't walk down the street, diddling away on my fondle-slab. I carry two vaccination cards in my wallet. There's nowhere I need to go that needs the NHS app.
