And modeling suggests that with a gene drive of this efficiency, it should only take about 10 generations of mosquitoes for the antimalaria genes to completely infiltrate a population.
"In the future we plan to continue this efficiency drive by rolling out digital working across the system, removing unnecessary bureaucracy and maximising the use of video technology to allow more cases to be heard without delay".
Indeed the Pentagon predicts that this efficiency drive, plus the new force structure, plus the lower orders for aircraft will save no more than $10 billion a year enabling procurement to rise to some $55 billion a year.
Technology will sit at the heart of this efficiency drive, and of a broader transformation programme as the NHS role shifts from being an institution focused on treating chronic conditions to one that uses data-sharing and analytics, collaboration and digital practices to deliver healthcare services predictively.
The diple was one of the first casualties of this efficiency drive, left out of printed books right from the start.
This drive for efficiency is most apparent in the software implementation process, where the top-tier players have been tripping over each other to announce shorter and shorter implementation times.
The fuel-to-motion conversion efficiency of ICEVs is 12 30%, depending on the drive cycle, whereas for BEVs this efficiency is 72 94%12.
On top of the £30bn savings departments have already been asked to find in the spending review and additional economies through another "operational" efficiency drive, this seems a big ask, without public services being cut or suffering.
(Ordering Chinese takeout in 30 seconds on an app might not be up there with Shakespeare or the incandescent light bulb, but it's pretty great). This unrelenting drive for efficiency has, however, blotted out a few things we all know intuitively but seem to be forgetting.
But, paradoxically, this efficiency has only driven up overall consumption.
"This drive for improved efficiency will ensure that new ways of working will be in place as soon as possible, so the frontline services on which people depend will not be damaged," he said.
