I don't have any particular knowledge, but this sentence from the article:

Over a billion pounds was spent on the programme last year alone

seems to indicate that it's an accumulated number.

Also, I think it's a safe guess that a significant slice of that money is recurring license fees for many, many instances of very enterprisey software.

You also have to take into account that the delivery of said systems will be undertaken by a consortium. There will be someone like accenture taking a huge slice for general management/PM and this is where the accountability comes in.
