At the start of the pandemic, financial services company Greensill launched ‘Earnd’, an advanced payment system, for NHS staff. Some trusts signed up for it and it was given backing from senior figures in the health service.

A year later, both have gone bust, former PM David Cameron is implicated in a lobbying scandal involving Greensill and serious questions are being asked about what exactly happened to the payroll data of the staff who used the app.

We dig into this along with recent revelations that the health secretary omitted to declare his connection to Topwood, a company owned by his close family.

We ask how these governance shortcomings managed to slip through the net and whether public trust has been sorely damaged – or if the successful vaccination scheme is too good a shield for this government?
