So that I am not misunderstood it is quite an achievement to build what has been built so far from a standing start in less than 6 months. That isn’t the point, the NHS a public body was also able to switch on a huge amount of additional resource at short notice. It isn’t a case of public good private bad its rather a case of how you conceptualise the problem and then manage the implementation of the solution – good design and good delivery vs poor design and poor delivery. The management process matters, in a democracy it also matters that it is open.
