Animal Health Veterinary Laboratories Agency (AHVLA) and DEFRA have met with the Royal College of Pathologists, to discuss the new Surveillance model, on four separate occasions between September 2012 and the introduction of changes to the Surveillance model on 1 April 2014.
A formal impact assessment was not required for this work because it does not involve a change in regulation. Submission into the scanning surveillance system is a voluntary activity that has no regulatory aspect. However the 'Changes to the delivery of Veterinary Scanning Surveillance in England and Wales, December 2013' document published on the AHVLA website does consider the impact of the changes, recognises that there are negative impacts (e.g. some farms will be further from an AHVLA Post Mortem facility) but concludes that these are outweighed by the benefit of having stronger national centres of excellence and a better coordinated network of support from private practices.

The situation in north London is clearly shocking. Does my hon. Friend know whether any of the tests that were outsourced relate specifically to diabetes, which is a huge problem for people who live in Brent? About 10% of the population is thought to suffer from diabetes.

The Minister rightly says that clinicians are best placed to make clinical judgments about their patients’ needs, and there is no dispute between us on that. My concern is that in a case such as that of TDL the clinicians understood the clinical need but clearly did not have the...

I hope that the hon. Gentleman will forgive me for saying that many of the contracts to which he is alluding were put in place under the old arrangements, before this Government’s reforms, which have delivered clinical leadership. Many of these contracts were negotiated under the powers put in place...

The Minister will have been aware of the report on TDL in north-west London and in no sense could it have been said that a satisfactory service was being delivered. So why did the CQC not intervene in a timely fashion? Why, when the initial report by the GP was...

I am grateful to my right hon. Friend for his intervention, and he is absolutely right that diabetes is a major problem in the Brent area. Given that many of the tests related to phlebotomy, I would assume that some of them might have related to diabetes, but I do...

To ask the Secretary of State for Health whether charging for tests in Public Health England microbiology laboratories is on a per test basis.
To ask the Secretary of State for Health whether charging for tests in Public Health England microbiology laboratories is on a per test basis.
Tests undertaken by Public Health England that are provided solely in support of public health functions are not charged to an external customer. Tests that are provided primarily for clinical diagnostic purposes are charged to the relevant external customer.
Where a test is charged, the method of charging to customers varies depending upon the volumes involved and nature of the customer relationship. For example a one-off, small order workload is charged on a “per test” basis while higher volume or ongoing workload is normally transacted under a contract for service.

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what her latest estimate is of the number of police laboratories that will be accredited to ISO17025 by November 2013.
[166203]
[holding answer 18 July 2013]: 37% of police forces currently hold accreditation to ISO 17025, this is predicted to increase to over 60% by November 2013 as a number of forces finalise the recommendations made by the awarding body, United Kingdom Accreditation Service. A number of forces have however decided to outsource this activity to commercial forensic service providers, who already hold ISO 17025, either on a short- or long-term basis.
