Details

An evaluation is taking place into screening for severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID) in the NHS. The evaluation covers around two-thirds of the newborn population in England.

There are 2 versions here of each letter depending on whether or not a baby was offered SCID screening alongside the 9 other newborn blood spot conditions.

See the PHE Screening blog for more information about the SCID screening evaluation.

Contact the Public Health England (PHE) Screening helpdesk with any queries about this publication, making sure you include its full title.
