Mr. John Gleeson:

The accreditation by national certification bodies that I referred to states that a laboratory can operate to do whatever it has declared. The body tests the laboratory for that whether it is blood testing or whatever. Second, we have published quality assurance guidelines on our website. If one works within the programme as a laboratory, these are what must be met. Having been awarded a contract, one will have to be accredited and meet these standards. Third, we do quality monitoring against those quality standards. The national certification body will do its annual audits for the accreditation and we will do ongoing monitoring against the standards set in our QA guidelines.
