      Lots!

      We have 11 treatment machines based in 2 different sites (one in liverpool and one on the Wirral) and each machine costs about £1.5 million! On top of that you have the cost of all our measuring equipment, which easily tops £1 million, and the cost of all our software and computers – we have hundreds of computers throughout the department. As a rough guide, we’re in the middle of building a new centre in the middle of Liverpool which is about half the size of where I work now and it’s costing about £120 million without the machines! (we’ll take them with us)
