DHBs Meet

District Health Board representatives met separately with DML and Labtests today to discuss matters regarding interim arrangements for the supply of community laboratory testing for the Auckland region from 1 July.

An interim arrangement will stand while a new process is undertaken for the long-term provision of quality community laboratory services.

The meetings today with the parties were productive and reassured the DHB representatives that continuing high standards of service will be in place for the region from 1 July.
