Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, pursuant to the Answer of 12 June 2019 to Question 260033, what annual assessment is planned for the activity undertaken through the Genomic Laboratory infrastructure; and whether that information will be made public.

NHS England collects management information on all services that it commissions and is establishing standardised reporting for the Genomic Laboratory Hubs. Management information, including activity and quality data, will be reviewed as part of NHS assurance with the Genomic Laboratory Hubs.

NHS England intends to make aggregate level information available for broad clinical themes, however, this will only be possible once robust and consistent reporting has been established.
