England Rare Diseases Action Plan to tackle health inequalities

England Rare Diseases Action Plan to tackle health inequalities A new Rare Diseases Action Plan for England has been published today that will ensure those living with these conditions receive better care and treatment, fairer access to testing and have continued support.

This builds on the first ever Rare Diseases Action Plan for England published in 2022, which has developed digital tools to put information on rare diseases at the fingertips of healthcare staff. It has also helped 1,000 new complex diagnoses for people with rare diseases to be made thanks to advances in genomic research, helping to inform appropriate clinical care for patients.
