This was the question at the annual Genetic Alliance UK conference yesterday. Genetic AllianceUK is the national charity of patient organisations and has a membership of over 140 charities supporting all those affected by genetic disorders.
With the significant changes that are being proposed for the NHS the concern is those with rare genetic conditions will be left without the support and services they need.
