Identity system is ‘textbook case’ of programme management failure
Public Accounts Committee Chair Meg Hillier MP has commented on yesterday’s National Audit Office report, Investigation into Verify.
Chair's comments
She yesterday said:
“The government’s flagship identity verification platform is a textbook case of government’s over-optimism and programme management failure.
“Despite spending at least £154 million on Verify, only half the people that try to sign up are able to use it and take-up is much lower than expected.
“More worrying, it is not yet clear what it will cost for government departments to continue using Verify when government funding stops next year.”
