“…This unintended information may include information about the genetic carrier status of a newborn infant, for example, as occurs in newborn sickle cell screening programmes. 236 Alternatively, it may include the detection of milder variants of 'disease' which may have little functional implications for the individual concerned but which cannot be ignored by the parents or the health professional delivering screening.…”

HTANewborn screening for congenital heart defects: a systematic review and cost-effectiveness analysis NHS R&D HTA ProgrammeT he research findings from the NHS R&D Health Technology Assessment (HTA) Programme directly influence key decision-making bodies such as the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) and the National Screening Committee (NSC) who rely on HTA outputs to help raise standards of care. HTA findings also help to improve the quality of the service in the NHS indirectly in that they form a key component of the 'National Knowledge Service' that is being developed to improve the evidence of clinical practice throughout the NHS.The HTA Programme was set up in 1993. Its role is to ensure that high-quality research information on the costs, effectiveness and broader impact of health technologies is produced in the most efficient way for those who use, manage and provide care in the NHS. 'Health technologies' are broadly defined to include all interventions used to promote health, prevent and treat disease, and improve rehabilitation and long-term care, rather than settings of care.The HTA Programme commissions research only on topics where it has identified key gaps in the evi...

“…There is little previous evidence on acceptable and effective methods of communicating carrier status and more research is needed. 17,18 Previous research has suggested that people are reluctant to disclose carrier status when arranging marriages. [19][20][21] This study's findings differ significantly; many of the responders wanted to know about carrier status before choosing a partner and recommended openness.…”

“…Whether learning about a carrier state is a benefit or cost of newborn screening has been a matter of debate. Some have argued that newborn screening programs should report results on carrier status (78,79) and that these findings represent an ancillary benefit of testing (54)(55)(56). Others argue that routine reporting of carrier results violates the right ''not to know'' and is of no direct benefit to the infant (80).…”
