112N: Duty of laboratories where specimens are analysed

You could also call this:

"Laboratories must send free reports to the manager when they test body specimens."

If you are in charge of a laboratory where specimens are analysed, you must send a report to the NCSP manager. You need to do this if the specimen was taken for a screening test or a diagnostic test. You also need to send a report if the specimen was taken during surgery and includes a part from the cervix. When you send a report, you must do it for free and include the information that the Director-General says you must. You must also send the report in the way and format that the Director-General specifies. The Director-General is in charge of deciding what information should be in the report and how it should be sent, you must follow their rules.
