The statistic of £29bn was taken from this article https://fullfact.org/online/37-billion-test-and-trace-app-sc...

I still think this is far higher than comparable countries and seems like a rip off. Any of the figures are extremely wasteful IMO. I wasn’t trying to suggest the app cost billions.

Test and trace is just the name of the UK programme (as used by fullfact and the NAO) so I’m not sure why you’re attempting to correct me on the naming.

I could have sworn your comment originally said "track and trace" not "test and trace". Perhaps not enough coffee.
