Heard on the grapevine that this grand plan, fully and successfully implemented, is intended to save less than £4m a year. (Oh, and that's before the cost of additional QFIs, and Adv Trg, and actually not getting the savings due to over optimisitic forecasting.) If true, probably not far from cost neutral then.... whilst hacking lots of people off. Cracking plan!
And from what's been posted, not clear on how this is supposed to link with the great PFI MFTS thingy (of which there seems to be a degree of silence, along with FSTA and other rental agreements) in 200X?
Any ideas anyone? Obviously I'm too dim to understand all of this.

PS To potential UAS-studes: it looks great, and go for it- but if you end up at Southampton, pls learn how to run a BBQ!
