Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask His Majesty's Government what specific actions and policies they are considering to help families with genetic risk profiles across chronic conditions, such as type 1 and type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease, to be proactive in managing their conditions.

The National Health Service, in partnership with Our Future Health, will trial the use of Integrated Risk Scores, which combine genomic, lifestyle, and health data, within the newly announced neighbourhood health services. Initially focused on cardiovascular disease and diabetes, the programme will expand to includes breast, bowel, and prostate cancer, with other diseases such as glaucoma, osteoporosis, and dementia under consideration. This marks a major step toward routine genetic testing in preventive care, enabling earlier and more personalised interventions.
