Executive Summary
Scotland is to invest £10m ($18.9m) in expanding and modernising genetic testing services over the next two years and establish an "annual rolling budget" specifically for the purchase of "the latest laboratory equipment". These are among the measures announced in response to the expert working group's Review of Genetics in Relation to Healthcare, set up in 2004 to assess existing genetic services and the potential application of genetic innovations.
