DHB to step in over Auckland testing

13/09/2009 20:28:01

The Auckland District Health Board is to take control of the quality and safety aspects of the region's new community laboratory service.

The intervention comes five weeks after Labtests' handover from the former provider Diagnostic Medlab. Since the launch of Labtests' service concerns have been raised by patients, medical professionals, the Ministry of Health and the Disability Commissioner.

From Monday a team of six health officials will oversee the quality and safety aspects of the service.
