Contact tracing App

Why don't we just use the app that has already been created by Westminster and is currently being trialled in Isle of Wight? It seems more advanced. I don't understand the need for Scotland to always have to do something different and waste money reinventing the wheel. This is a global pandemic and we should all be working together. This is no time for partisan politics.

Why the contribution is important

We need to be working together as a nation, not trying to score political points.

    The NHS England app does not use best practice. It is not open source so we can not review it is best practice. It uses a centralised database creating a priavy infringement accessible to a government with a previous record of breaking the law in this area.

    It would be better to share the source code with apps from other countries which use best practice security and privacy.
