Must have been a bad weekend for news because this is a rehash of a news item that appeared on BBC news and a Times feature back in April 2007! The Telegraph didn't pick up on it until November 2007. Heres a link to the earlier Telegraph article - it has been re-worded but otherwise is telling the same story. http://www.nhs.uk/news/2007/November/Pa ... tgene.aspx
I wonder if they intend to continue re-publishing it every other year?
