Daily MailEvery newborn baby in the UK will have a DNA screening as part of an NHS 'revolution' to battle killer diseases.
The health secretary Wes Streeting said new technology in areas such as genomics would help 'leapfrog' illnesses.
The Government is set to pour £650 million into DNA technology in an effort to treat serious illnesses before they become a problem.
The investment in genomics is expected to support the Government's 10-year plan for the NHS, which will see a greater focus on technology and prevention.
Mr Streeting told The Telegraph: 'The revolution in medical science means that we can transform the NHS over the coming decade, from a service which diagnoses and treats ill health to one that predicts and prevents it.
'Genomics presents us with the opportunity to leapfrog disease, so we're in front of it rather than reacting to it.' ...
Sure, that's what it's about.

1. Britain just allowed women to abort their fully developed babies up until birth.
2. The government now plans to DNA test all newborn babies and map their genetics.
What are they planning?
