14. Efficiency Projects with expected savings less than £0.5m

We have decided to apply a minimum threshold to projects for which we publish efficiency technical notes. In future, although they will still be counted, we will not publish full technical notes for any project where the total saving in 2007-08 is below £0.5m. The following table lists those projects that have fallen under the threshold and gives detail of the savings each project will contribute to the overall targets.

NB: Technical Notes for some of these projects have been published previously.
