My question is really the same. I accept that where someone is diagnosed out of the country, there may be labs that are not up to standard. We had a group in an hour ago who said the same thing about labs and people doing medical work who are not fully qualified. If somebody is diagnosed outside the country, whether through a national lab or a dodgy lab - I do not want to say that but it is the only way I can describe it - and comes back here, what help can they be given to assure them that what they have is not what they have been told? If I went away and had a test done and came back to the country and the medical experts here did not agree with the test, would I be retested here?
