My information is that it is the case. Mr. Gleeson needs to revise that immediately and inform GPs as to who did a test and what pathologist looked over it. It is extremely poor practice to have a pathologist doing work in the UK, or anywhere else, while a pathologist based here signs off on it without a re-examination of the results. I do not want to create hysteria or additional worry but, using the food industry analysis again, in the interest of traceability and accountability we need to know who is doing what. Otherwise, the poor pathologist at MedLab in Sandyford could be accused of mistakes for which he or she was not responsible.
