As a huge healthcare org with solid MS lock-in: ouch.

Brexy-fans can say it's "fluctuating not tanking"; we still have to pay more for software (and less for hospital beds, staff, and so on. In big orgs these costs are gibberring).

(personally I'm betting on EUR-GBP parity by xmas, because my Cassandra gland is firing overtime)

Don't worry, it was promised that the NHS gets £350m more per week after Brexit.

And how can costs be gibbering?

Staggering via autocorrect?

I think they mean that viewing the costs induces gibbering in the viewer.
