answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 21/11/2016 answer text <p>The Department takes advice on all aspects of screening from the independent UK National Screening Committee (UK NSC) and has met with its Secretariat to discuss its recommendation on non-invasive prenatal testing (NIPT) for Down’s, Edwards’ and Patau’s syndromes as an additional test in the current NHS Fetal Anomaly Screening Programme.</p><p> </p><p>NIPT presents a more accurate and safer screen for Down’s syndrome and reduces the need for diagnostic invasive prenatal testing, which carries a risk of miscarriage. Modelling suggests that NIPT, as an additional test in the current screening pathway will result in the number of women offered invasive prenatal diagnosis (IPD) tests reducing from 7,910 to 1,434, leading to a reduction in IPD-related miscarriage of pregnancies from 46 to 3 per year. The new test will be offered to pregnant women whose chance of having a baby with Down’s, Edwards’ or Patau’s syndromes is greater than 1 in 150.</p><p> </p><p>As is standard practice, the UK NSC held a three month public consultation to enable stakeholders to feed into the review. 30 responses were received to the consultation from a wide range of stakeholders. A copy of the responses to the consultation is attached.</p><p> </p><p>The Department is satisfied that the screening programme is compliant with its obligations under the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities and that the Programme is compliant with any obligations under the Equality Act.</p> answering member printed Lord Prior of Brampton grouped question UIN HL3063 question first answered 21/11/2016 14:17:35 answering member 127 label Biography information for Lord Prior of Brampton attachment 1 file name 20161110 - HL3062 and HL3063 - UK NSC cfDNA Consultation Responses.pdf title Consultation Responses
