Not closed due to quality of checks but more so red tape looks like?
Edit: The appointed consultant is not a pathologist.

They can’t get a consultant, I heard. Also the lab job pay is downright insulting so there’s also a lack of clinical lab workers right now.
Governance and change management sound like red tape but they are incredibly important in any kind of controlled setting. Having confidence that decisions aren’t made on a whim and that there’s a procedure to ensure that the potentials for risks are assessed for every change is part of ensuring risks are avoided. You cannot avoid risks if you don’t even know they are likely to happen.
There’s enormous value in knowing how changes are evaluated and that the documentation exists on how the proposed change is assessed – who signed off on it, what the change is supposed to deliver, over what timeframe, and what to do if the change doesn’t work out and needs to be reverted.
At the end of the day if the lab is working perfectly right now that’s good to know but it’s not enough – having all of this stuff in place and assured is how you know the lab will continue to work as circumstances and situations move on. Without these types of controls the lab could be completely unsafe in the morning without anyone being properly aware of it.
