These principles are the foundation for laboratory accreditation and while nobody within the healthcare environment will argue with the principles of accreditation or doubt it is an ideal to which they should strive, the problem is in the detail.

This will increase the efficiency and effectiveness of both the laboratory and those dependent on its services.
