Certainly as a year late, short term and limited (as in all they'll be doing is knocking on doors and seeing if people are in) scheme this appears to be crap. There is also a lot of vagueness around the cost and how many checks they'll actually be responsible for doing - the communique says that the checks will be "in addition to" the ones already carried out by cops (1000 a day), but never says how much Mitie will.
A properly established and resourced (and genuinely NHS) test and trace system could have done this far more effectively of course, combining the checks with the tests that need to be carried out, and offering support / advice when needed - and thats on top of acting as an early warning system to pick up new variants / new diseases.

FYI when Pakistan and Bangladesh were added to the red list for UK travel (announced on April 2nd) their COVID cases per million were at 3091.5 (Pak) and 3792 (Ban). India then was at 8979 cases per million.
As of yesterday, India are at 10,198 cases per million - still three times more than Pakistan and more than twice as much as Bangladesh. The situation in India is demonstrably much worse than it is in nearby countries (even Sri Lanka, which isn't on the red list, is at less than half the Indian rate), both in terms of confirmed cases and deaths.
Have there finger in quite a few pies.

They're a large FM company. A lot of the bigger facilities management companies seem to get involved in various areas.
They're starting to become similar to Capita and Servo etc.

In my opinion the whole model of large FM service providers and also the outsource type companies that the government regularly use is price low and hope to make money by cutting corners or make it back on variations to the contract.
Quality performance is not really their goal.

They’ve been having that attitude for some time thinking a God will save them from it. They even had religious sites open.

How many hospital beds does the country have?, there might be collapsing health systems according to various reports.

I suppose he’s wording it like it is, after seeing the MSM plastered with photos of Primark queues.

We are running a consultation on making Covid vaccination a condition of deployment in older adult care homes to protect those most at risk in our society.
The consultation closes on 21 May.
Have your say: https://t.co/ym1jnDnLvl
Interesting that the government are looking at basically making the vaccine mandatory for care workers.
