That is reassuring. In regard to Dr. Scally accepting what Quest and the different companies told him, in regard to rumours that laboratories in Mexico and India were used and bearing in mind he was reassured by the companies there were only a certain number of laboratories and it turned out that was incorrect, why has he taken their reassurance that no other laboratories were being used? I have a question as to how he can be reassured. It seems somewhat naive, I would think, after his experience in regard to what he was told and not told. It would seem there are other sources of information in regard to what laboratories were used because, from reading this report, it is clear that when a report comes back to the GP or consultant, it is written on it which laboratory was used, because that is the regulation in America. How many doctors have been consulted to look at their records to see what other laboratories, if any, have been used?
