NHS England does not hold information on the number of family history clinics in operation. As set out in the Manual for Prescribed Specialised Services 2018/19 NHS England commissions genetics services, including genetic testing for inherited cancer through the Genomic Laboratory Hubs and the genetic clinical service through the Regional Clinical Genetics Services.
