Surely if the HSE is issuing contracts with a necessary standard and the independent organisation that is supposed to be giving the accreditation has done something that is not orthodox, would it not be a concern for all contracts and all the stuff done by INAB? INAB was auditing a company and did not notice the fellow in Salford, and it was prepared to make a one-time retrospective accreditation. Would the HSE, as service providers, not be concerned as to whether all the labs to which it is sending stuff are okay? Whose job is that?
