Ms Cliodhna Guy:

On the laboratory, we engage in public procurement given the extensive expenditure. It is open to laboratories internationally. Our focus is on the standard. We need to ensure the standards our samples are being tested to are the international ones. We have sought to ensure that any candidate for the tender process must meet those standards and at least be certified by the IFHA, which, as Dr. Hillyer has laid out, does the certification of laboratories. There are six laboratories internationally. We have asked that they at least meet certain standards, if not exceed them. Our focus is on ensuring that our samples are tested to the highest standard possible according to international best practice.
