This morning.
Via The Belfast Telegraph:
A medical diagnostics company in Northern Ireland has branded claims made after an undercover investigation by Channel 4 into its Covid-19 testing facility as “inaccurate”.
Channel 4’s Dispatches programme last night broadcast the experience of an undercover reporter who worked at Randox as part of its examination into the Government’s handling of the test and trace system.
It alleged there were “serious failings” at Randox’s Co Antrim Covid-19 testing lab, with potential problems with how samples, sent from across the UK were handled.
Dispatches claimed used tests sent to Randox for analysis were sometimes not unpacked properly and accidentally discarded, with the reporter alleging swab samples were mistakenly being thrown into the waste with cardboard packaging.
Good times.
