Very nice, but...

A great big expensive white elephant - while very nice to have it will not be of any practical use on the battlefield and not necessary at a Regimental Aid Post. While full medical records may be of (dubious) value at rear/base medical facilities, these could be provided much simpler by either physical disk or electronic transfer to an "in theatre" database for individuals posted in.
That £80m (and it's associated running costs) could have been far better employed in resuscitating a disbanded infantry battalion or providing a big boost in equipment quality and quantity.
