In the case of the Salford lab, no one phoned the INAB to get accredited. It did not notice when it was doing its annual audit in Sandyford. The guy in Salford was operating for nine months before the second guy was taken on. It must be lucrative. When I read the report for what must have been the fifth time last night, I found out that the lab guy relocated from Sandyford to Manchester for personal reasons, which is none of our business. However, to set up a new lab for one guy, he must have been some employee despite shortages or it must have been extremely lucrative to support that level - the price we are paying, a matter we will probably get to at another meeting.

The information Ms Burke gave us earlier was incorrect. An organisation does not hold ISO accreditation. In ISO accreditation it states somewhere that if a company is ISO accredited to a particular standard, the onus is on the company to have its satellite labs ISO accredited. Is that true?
