Is this a good use of tax payer's money? £100-162 million set aside to sequence the genomes of 100,000 cancer patients.

Drugs that prolong life are withheld from many cancer patients because they are deemed too expensive. Do you think this project will improve future cancer treatment at the cost of current treatments for patients?
