contingent screening test is yet to be implemented into the NHS Fetal Anomaly Screening
Programme. Therefore, no information is held on the effect of NIPT on the birth rate
of babies with Down's syndrome or the number of National Health Service hospitals
that offer non-invasive pregnancy testing onsite.</p><p> </p><p>Once NIPT is rolled

Data will also be collected on the pregnancy outcomes of women who choose to have
screening, including babies born with Down’s syndrome.</p>
