Dismiss Dominic Cummings prior to release of Covid tracking app
Remove Dominic Cummings and his team of data analysts from Downing Street, to help build the public trust needed for a successful NHS tracking app. More here:

Tracking applications are increasingly seen as a useful tool in managing the corona virus outbreak, but they are pushing data privacy boundaries, collecting more data than ever before. Widespread adoption of the app (which will be critical to its success) will be dependent on the trust people have in how the data will be used by government agencies, there is no space for ‘misfits and weirdos’ at the heart of this exercise - this work must be undertaken by professionals with the upmost integrity
