answer text <p>The initial analysis undertaken in partnership with UK industry concluded that a UK Global Navigation Satellite System could cost between £3-5 billion over a ten-year build phase. In August, my Rt Hon Friend the Prime Minister tasked the UK Space Agency, with the full support of the Ministry of Defence, to develop options and set aside £92m for the necessary Engineering and Design studies to refine and test these initial estimates.</p><p>If the UK wished to participate in the Galileo project from 2020 this would be a matter for future negotiations, as it would be for all programmes. Member States do not contribute to individual EU programmes but to the EU budget as a whole. The UK’s financing share of the EU budget is based on a number of elements, such as the UK rebate and our customs duties transfers to the EU and fluctuates with changes to the levels and types of EU spending. It therefore not possible to estimate future contributions to specific EU Programmes.</p><p> </p> more like this

answer text <p>Following reengineering of tumour provision to fresh tissue supply and creating 300 pathways for tumour supply across the 13 NHS Genomic Medicine Centres (GMCs), Genomics England has continued to work with the National Health Service to improve throughput over the life of the programme.</p><p>Over the past six months, the average (median) turnaround time for cancer cases from enrolment to return of analysis was 39 working days. For fast-tracked and clinically urgent cases, this average over the last six months is 25 working days. By September 2018, Genomics England were returning samples at scale in 20 days or less demonstrating the improvements in the majority of cases received.</p><p>The most clinically useful timeframe depends on each individual patient’s clinical circumstances. As the 100,000 Genomes Project is a research programme, patients were all offered the NHS standard of care for their condition, in addition to Whole Genome Sequencing, so their therapy could proceed as rapidly as needed. During the 100,000 Genomes Project about half of the cancer cases in the Project contained actionable findings identifying a potential targeted therapy or clinical trial opportunity.</p><p>To date, 5,801 participants results have been returned to NHS GMCs (some participants have multiple reports). In total, 506 participants in the 100,000 Genomes Project, many of whom had advanced disease at the time of enrolment, died before Genomics England returned a whole genome analysis to the NHS. Of these, 176 were participants who died before their DNA samples were received by Genomics England. In many cases the deceased cancer participants became part of the Project via consent by a nominated representative, relative or friend because of the value for research to help others even though it was too late for the individual concerned.</p>

answer text <p>NHS England is developing a National Genomic Medicine service and this will bring together both existing clinical genetics services, and new genomic laboratory infrastructure to provide seamless service delivery for patients with rare and inherited disease and cancer. However, NHS England is not introducing a national molecular pathology service in cancer and therefore has not carried out economic modelling or an estimate of cost for such a service.</p><p>A key element of the Genomic Medicine Service is the National Genomic Test Directory which outlines the entire repertoire of genomic tests – from existing tests for single genes and molecular markers Whole Genomic Sequencing to Whole Genome Sequencing – that are available as part of the National Health Service clinical service. This includes cancer genomic tests.</p><p>As part of the NHS Genomic Medicine Service, a National Genomics Informatics System (NGIS) is being developed by Genomics England, on behalf of NHS England. When fully operational NGIS will enable NHS England to monitor the number of genomic tests being carried out across the country and benchmark activity.</p>
