In total, everyone gets informed (3,4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

all told

'in total' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'everyone gets informed' is the wordplay.
'everyone' becomes 'all' (all people).
'gets' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'informed' becomes 'told' (telling is a kind of informing).
'all'+'told'='ALL TOLD'

(Other definitions for all told that I've seen before include "To summarise" , "Taking everything into account" , "sum" , "book reading's finished?" , "Nothing missed out" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
