Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what his timescale is for updating the National Genomic Test Directory for 2020-21 for genomic tests commissioned by the NHS in England for cancer.

Due to the impact of COVID-19, the publication of the National Genomic Test Directory for 2020/21 has been delayed. NHS England and NHS Improvement are establishing the timescale for the publication of the updated National Genomic Test Directory for 2020/21 in line with national COVID-19 recovery activity. It is expected that the National Genomic Test Directory for 2020/21 will be published by the end of September.
