Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask His Majesty's Government whether they will publish the planned timeline for widening access to genetic risk assessment and genomic testing for cardiovascular and metabolic conditions; and if so, when.
The 10-Year Health Plan included a commitment to begin implementing Integrated Risk Scores that bring together polygenic risk scores and other non-biological risk factors. NHS England, in partnership with Our Future Health and clinical experts, will carry out a three year service evaluation from 2026/27.
