A contract tracer who was meant to be starting his shift at 8am tells me it& #39;s been a & #39;complete shambles& #39; so far.

He was only emailed at 10.30 last night to be told the system was going live anyway, he still hasn& #39;t received his password to logon and the website has crashed. @LBC

His colleagues are all finding the same problems, the site is still down. He says they were under the impression they wouldn& #39;t be starting work until 1st June (or even later) and only learnt they wanted to start today when watching Boris with the liaison committee yesterday.

I& #39;m still waiting for a response from the Department of Health on this, meanwhile another tracer tells me after tying to get hold of support for around an hour she& #39;s been told “the link is having & #39;some system issues& #39; and they are working with partners to rectify it.”
