I think it will be too expensive and too cumbersome for the U.K. government to introduce. There are currently two NHS apps that were introduced some years ago now and neither of them are fit for purpose in that they do not contain your complete medical records and different hospitals and GPs access them in different ways. If they can’t get these NHS apps right there is no hope that the digital ID will work and it certainly won’t stop the black market because if an employer is paying cash in hand they are not going to ask for digital ID. So I think it is a stupid idea from a government that lacks ideas and purpose.
