As set out in the Manual for Prescribed Specialised Services 2018/19, NHS England commissions inherited cancer services. This includes genetic testing for inherited cancer through the Genomic Laboratory Hubs and the genetic clinical service through the Regional Clinical Genetics Services.

NHS England does not hold data on access to family history clinics for people with a family history of breast cancer across England.
