Dear Mike,
For cases & queries about child abuse outside of the hospital, the Social
Workers' Teams round here arrange to send hair samples for evidential drug
assay to Trichotech - this is a company on the Cardiff Science Park - phone
029.2068.2051, Trichotech can supply a suitable collection kit which the
Social Worker or whoever can use and post directly.
For in-patients, in some cases the Clinician will collect samples in the
presence of the very policeman who is to carry them directly to the
Forensic Lab.
Best wishes,
Les
