	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 10/07/2019 answer text <p>Genomics England is committed to returning results to every patient in the 100,000 Genomes Project via their National Health Service clinical team. All of the patient results will have been returned to the NHS by the end of the year.</p><p>Under the Data Protection Legislation, participants in the 100,000 Genomes Project can request their genomic and clinical data. However, a whole genome sequence is around 3 billion letters long and written in code so it is very difficult to interpret. Genomics England can provide access to a visual representation on request or provide access to the raw data. A NHS clinical team is the best route to providing a clinical interpretation of the genome results.</p> answering member printed Baroness Blackwood of North Oxford question first answered 10/07/2019 15:26:14 answering member 4019 label Biography information for Baroness Blackwood of North Oxford

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 23/07/2019 answer text <p>Public Health England (PHE) advises that the guidelines of the International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP) should be adopted and there is no convincing evidence that radio wave exposures below the ICNIRP guideline levels cause adverse health effects. The ICNIRP guidelines cover exposures arising from new 5G base stations, as well as from older technologies.</p><p>Many exposure measurements have been made at publicly accessible locations near to mobile phone base stations, and these have consistently been well within guidelines. It is possible that there may be a small increase in overall exposure to radio waves when 5G is added to an existing network or in a new area; however, the overall exposure is expected to remain low relative to guidelines and as such there should be no consequences for public health.</p><p> </p><p>PHE has published information about exposure to the radio waves from mobile phone base stations, including those for 5G networks, at the following link:</p><p> </p><p><a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/mobile-phone-base-stations-radio-waves-and-health/mobile-phone-base-stations-radio-waves-and-health" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/mobile-phone-base-stations-radio-waves-and-health/mobile-phone-base-stations-radio-waves-and-health</a></p><p> </p><p>PHE continues to monitor the health-related evidence applicable to radio waves and is committed to updating its advice as required.</p><p><strong> </strong></p> answering member constituency South Ribble answering member printed Seema Kennedy question first answered 23/07/2019 16:52:28 answering member 4455 label Biography information for Seema Kennedy
