answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 22/10/2019 answer text <p><a href="http://gov.uk/" target="_blank">GOV.UK</a> Notify currently has 1,322 services with over half a billion total notifications sent to date (see <a href="https://www.gov.uk/performance/govuk-notify" target="_blank">here</a>). The benefits of <a href="http://gov.uk/" target="_blank">GOV.UK</a> Notify are primarily driven by HMG only having to incur a cost once instead of multiple times across the 1,322 services. The benefits fall into two broad categories &quot;One-off avoided costs&quot; &amp; &quot;Avoided ongoing costs&quot;. These benefits are driven by the number of services adopted across HMG and the transactions of each of those services. Both are forecasted forward based on a combination of statistical techniques using historical data and engagement insight with OGDs.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Carmarthen West and South Pembrokeshire answering member printed Simon Hart question first answered 22/10/2019 15:13:40 answering member 3944 label Biography information for Simon Hart
