Microsoft makes deal with British Health Department
The NHS has struck a money-saving deal with computer giant Microsoft amid reports of spiralling costs to its national information technology programme.
The Department of Health said its "landmark agreement" with Microsoft to renew the licence for desktop products would save an estimated £330 million on the current deal.
It was also announced that Microsoft would be investing £40 million to develop health specific software applications to improve patient care and safety across the NHS.
