The genomics sector is not currently designated as Critical National Infrastructure (CNI). There is a strict framework for classification: CNI assets and systems are those that have been assessed as having a significant and catastrophic impact to the functioning of the UK \u2013 either through the loss of life or limb, on the economy, or national security, defence or the functioning of the state \u2013 should they be disrupted or compromised. The threshold is a high bar so that resources are focused on the highest priority, and most critical, assets and systems.<\/p>
There are strong and sufficient provisions protecting UK genomics databases, including through the UK Data Protection Act (2018), which delivers a data protection framework tailored to the needs of our criminal justice agencies and intelligence services. The relevant genomics data is additionally held within Secure Data Environments, affording further security protections.<\/p>
As with all parts of the CNI landscape, we commit to keeping this position under review.<\/p>
<\/strong> The Cabinet Office leads and coordinates the UK\u2019s national security crisis response through the Cabinet Office Briefing Room (COBR), and national security policy through the National Security Council structures. This includes the National Cyber Strategy, National Security and Investment Programme, and the Biological Security Strategy, all of which the department is taking essential steps to deliver.<\/p> <\/strong><\/p> Key successes in 2023 included publishing the Integrated Review Refresh, passing the National Security Act, launching the Emergency Alerting scheme and delivering the Atlantic Declaration and risk elements of the AI Summit. So far in 2024, we have launched a new Strategic Dialogue on Biological Security with the US and continued to coordinate the response to the conflict in Gaza and Russia\u2019s illegal invasion of Ukraine.<\/p> <\/p>"}

This includes the development and implementation of the Integrated Review Refresh. Published in March, the Refresh updated the government\u2019s security, defence, development and foreign policy priorities to reflect changes in the global context since the Integrated Review 2021.

There is a range of statutory support for veterans across the UK, including the bespoke mental health service for veterans in England: Op COURAGE.<\/p> Charities continue to play a vital role in helping veterans with their mental health, and I pay tribute to them for all they do. The Government provided £20m in 2021 to the Armed Forces Covenant Fund Trust to support Service charities comprising the £10m annual allocation plus extra £10m announced in the 2021 Budget. In addition, we provided £5m through the Afghanistan Veterans\u2019 Fund. These funds included provision for initiatives to improve capacity in mental health and wellbeing provision, and suicide prevention.<\/p> <\/p> <\/p>"}
