Since our last update, the adoption of GaaP products has accelerated. We are now supporting more than 400 services from 120 organisations across the public sector.
GOV.UK Registers has created registers with more than a dozen departments, GOV.UK Notify has sent more than 150 million messages, and the number of services now using GOV.UK Pay has grown by almost a quarter.
There's more detail below on how we’ve been iterating and improving our products that have led to these achievements.
