These are areas where whole genome sequencing may offer the best opportunity to diagnose disease. From the Project’s pilot phase we have found actionable findings in 20-25% of rare disease patients.</p><p> </p><p>The scope of the project does not include screening at birth. The Chief Medical Officer, in her annual report Generation Genome, recommended that that the National Screening Committee conducts a systematic evaluation of the opportunities offered by genomics for present and potential screening practices.</p> answering member constituency Gosport answering member printed Caroline Dinenage question first answered 30/04/2018 15:41:08 answering member 4008 label Biography information for Dame Caroline Dinenage

	uin	131089
	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 12/03/2018 answer text <p>Prior to the Severn Crossings consultation in 2017 the Government undertook modelling to assess the effect of the policy to continue tolling at a reduced rate and on the possible option of free-flow tolling. The modelling used a version of the M4-CAN traffic model extended to take account of the effect of changes in tolls on both the South West of England and Wales, which included estimates of wider economic effects consistent with DfT Transport Appraisal Guidance.</p><p> </p><p>Removal of the tolls will mean more people will be able to afford to cross the border in both directions to seek job and trade opportunities. This will support motorists, residents and businesses across Wales and the south-west, helping rebalance the economy as part of the Industrial Strategy. These benefits are expected to be associated with an increase in traffic around the Severn and Bristol area.</p><p>The Government announced on 21 July 2017 that it was removing tolls by the end of 2018. No further modelling was undertaken by the Department for Transport on this specific option.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Hereford and South Herefordshire answering member printed Jesse Norman question first answered 12/03/2018 12:11:26 answering member 3991 label Biography information for Jesse Norman
