The Labour Party has called for audit firm Deloitte to be sacked from its role preparing NHS Test and Trace for a government inquiry into the handling of the pandemic.

Deloitte won contracts valued at more than £280m advising the government’s Covid-19 Test and Trace programme, according to data provider Tussell. The Big Four auditor has now reportedly been appointed to advise Test and Trace on preparing for the government inquiry into the pandemic.
