	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
