NHS 10 Year Health Plan sets ambition to offer genome sequencing to every newborn within a decade

Genomics England/Generation Study

England's 10 Year Health Plan committed to supporting the Generation Study and set a longer-term aim to make genome sequencing at birth universal within ten years. The plan also expands genomic risk scores for heart disease prevention through Our Future Health.

• Universal newborn genome sequencing is an ambition, not yet a decision; it depends on the study's evidence.
• Our Future Health's genomic risk work is to expand to all five million participants.
