In line with the document, CCGs may wish to consider investment in community-based health champions and communication campaigns aimed at raising awareness of the implications of genetic inheritance alongside community based access to genetic counselling and family planning services and enhanced diagnostic services.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>A copy of the resource document is available on the NHS England website at:</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p><a href="http://www.england.nhs.uk/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/mort-res-22-5.pdf" target="_blank">http://www.england.nhs.uk/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/mort-res-22-5.pdf</a></p><p> </p>
