Genomics: Health Services
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, if he will announce a timeline for the NHS Genomic Medicine Service to establish a public facing dashboard setting out data on (a) turnaround times and (b) volume of testing activity across each genomic laboratory hub.
Answered by Ashley Dalton
Since December 2023, National Health Service genomic testing activity data has been published on the NHS England website, and is available at the following link:
https://www.england.nhs.uk/statistics/statistical-work-areas/genomic-testing-activity/
This standardised data is collected from all NHS Genomic Laboratory Hubs (GLHs). GLHs and NHS England will continue to publish genomic testing activity data on a quarterly basis. Currently, only activity data is published, however there are plans to add turnaround time data in future publications.
