Quality Assurance
Limited QA process in place, mostly with QA of Laboratories
Focus will be on timeliness of testing & follow-up
NWSHA team to develop comprehensive QA programme
![Page 39: NHS Blood Spot Screening Programme Marie Coughlin Screening Lead July 26 th 2010](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062320/56649cf95503460f949caf6d/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Key Challenges for the Programme
Many samples for transfused babies not being taken
Poor quality of samples received by Lab leading to high repeat rate
Newborn Label Project; difficult to obtain local IT support
