This is necessary in order to enable a team to work locally and under local conditions, in order to enhance their public service. The study also mentions that it focuses upon the UK government initiative called the National Health Service genetic care, and presents its findings in a qualitative, comparative, and case study structure, with contrasting outcomes.
