Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what progress has been made in the development and implementation of pan-cancer testing panels as part of the NHS Genomic Medicine Service.

There are seven Genomic Laboratory Hubs across England which are each responsible for coordinating services for a particular part of the country, and together they form the national Genomic Medicine Service. Each Genomic Laboratory Hub has developed an implementation plan and are continuing to develop pan-cancer panels for implementation as part of the NHS Genomic Medicine Service. NHS England and NHS Improvement continue to monitor progress on the development and implementation of pan-cancer panels.
