• How many of each vaccine type has been ordered up to, and including, 1 October 2020;
• How many of each vaccine type has been actually administered up to, and including, 1 October 2020.

2a) For each of these services, how many identities were verified in this way in your 2019/20 financial year, and what did it cost to process?

The definition of "identity verification" is the same definition used by Government, i.e. ‘a digital identity is information used by computer systems to represent a unique person, organisation, application or device. So for a citizen or consumer, a “digital identity” is a trusted way of proving one or more attributes about themselves online or offline and the linkage of those attributes to that same person as a uniquely identifiable individual.’
