Documentation
Description:
By calculating genetic testing rates for different healthcare populations in England (e.g. Clinical Commissioning Groups and Regions), the outputs from the data analysis aim to support commissioners in reviewing variation and taking action to improve access where required.
Collection of historic data, covering 2012 through to 2014, will take place as a one-off submission alongside submission of 2014-15 data. This is due to take place during September and October 2015 (laboratories will be notified of specific submission deadlines).
