Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what steps his Department is taking to ensure that cancer patients will not experience delays to their diagnosis and treatment as a result of proposed changes to genomic cancer testing services as outlined in the NHS Genomic Testing Services tender.
NHS Genomic Testing Services tender included a requirement for the Genomic Laboratory Hubs to agree a Mobilisation Plan with NHS England which provides assurances that the continuity of services to patients will not be affected during the service re-configuration stages of mobilisation.
