In addition to the two websites listed above, the Department funds and/or manages a further 111 websites. To gather the monthly ‘hits’ data for these sites in order to determine the number of ‘hits’ on the least popular would incur disproportionate costs.
The Department is actively engaged in reducing this number of these sites, in accordance with the guidelines and timetables set for website rationalisation under Transformational Government. The Department has already shut down 27 websites and has plans in place to terminate 53 sites out of the 111 figure above. By the end of this project in 2011, all 111 sites will either be closed or migrated to DH.gov.uk, NHS Choices, NHS Direct, Directgov or Business Link.
