> The NHS has a yearly budget of £114 billion, so IT spend is only 0.02% the size of their yearly budget.

You might want to double check you math.

But yes, it's such a small amount of the overall IT budget I almost wonder why it's being given separately.

My original calculation added in an unintended currency conversion (Google assumed that "40 million" meant "40 million US Dollars), and I also meant to clarify that I was talking about this single initiative, not the overall IT budget. I've since edited my number (0.03 instead of 0.02%)
