Public API for retrieving information about a person

Public API for People (public-people-api)

Generates JSON representation of a Person in public-friendly format.

People are being migrated to be served from the new Public Concepts API and as such this API will eventually be deprecated. From July 2018 requests to this service will be redirected via the concepts api then transformed to match the existing contract and returned.
