Verify: Investigation slams government ID scheme
For those that do use Verify, problems are widespread.This rate is even lower for universal credit claimants using the service to authenticate their identity online.
"Despite spending at least £154m on Verify, only half the people that try to sign up are able to use it and take-up is much lower than expected." The government is due to stop funding Verify from April 2020, handing operation over to the private sector. "Even in the context of GDS's redefined objectives for the programme, it is difficult to conclude that successive decisions to continue with Verify have been sufficiently justified," the report says.A whole new way of doing major government IT programmes much more efficiently - that was the promise of GDS.
