The struggling test-and-trace programme has been forced to bring in super-management consultants from KPMG in an attempt to get back on track.

The government is preparing to draft in a new team to bolster the £10billion scheme which was implemented to manage any second coronavirus wave.

The service, which was introduced by Boris Johnson earlier this year as 'world-beating', has been condemned as 'barely functional' after being flooded by demand in recent weeks.

It comes as the Prime Minister sounded the Covid-19 alarm after admitting an 'inevitable' surge in cases - with the UK recording a four-month high of 4,322 new infections in the past 24 hours.

'Hundreds' of staff from consulting firms including KPMG and EY have been put on standby to work in various parts of the test-and-trace system 'on a short-term basis', according to The Guardian.

It is thought that they will be required across the programme including project support, supply chain, data and programme management sectors.

The consultants are said to be starting within the next 72 hours and will likely remain for the next six months - with the terms of contracts still being negotiated.

Sturgeon called the four nations for a Cobra meeting over the weekend.

we all stood outside and watched the spitfire fly over us last month the manager who was standing there was all "isn't it wonderful" until a colleague said "you know I wish I was up there than down here in this shit" I laughed a long time

Not a second wave, but the second wave.

If we think about that, nothing really happened to prevent it

Everytime they curb the spread then ease restrictions there will be a new surge of cases. Why is this surprising?

Especially since they say immunity only seems to last for 4 months now.

it’s not surprising. you might be missing the underlying humour in the discussion.

but they did promise us a world class test and track and trace system, that it was safe to open schools, pubs, restaurants and all the rest of it. their handling of the crisis has been a litany of errors and corrupt incompetence and you can surely see why people are tired of johnson and his government of cretins.

Is there good evidence for this or are 'they' just 'saying' ?
