Genomes of up to 100,000 patients or infections in patients will be sequenced over the next 5 years leading to better and earlier diagnosis and more personalised care. The Chief Medical Officer established 3 working groups to consider the strategic priorities, data and ethical implications of this work. The reports give the final recommendations of those groups.
