    Author: Collins CH, Howie JW.
    Journal: J Clin Pathol; 1984 Jan; 37(1):83-6. PubMed ID: 6707222.
    Abstract:
    The costs of implementing the Code of Practice for the Prevention of Infection in Clinical Laboratories appear to have been inflated in various ways. These include: alterations and improvements not required by the Code; rehabilitation of neglected buildings to conform with the requirements of the Health and Safety at Work Act; correction of poor design in recently built laboratories; suboptimal management and courses of instruction; and numerous committees.
