The Medical Association says it is time to review the decisions being made over laboratory services.

The Association is concerned there are growing risks to the long term future of laboratory services. A requested meeting with the Health Minister has gone unanswered for two months.

Association chairman Dr Ross Boswell says one of the decisions they are concerned about is the Auckland Diagnostic Medlab controversy. He feels the current provider may not be able to provide a level of service until the end of their contract.
