I have written to Mike Dando (Customer services, Royal Mail) recently, asking for confirmation that until further notice we do not need to comply with the 602 regulations, only the old ones. I have pointed out that no communication from DoH or the NHSE has been received, to address the funding of any change to a system with major cost implication for labs. No response yet (2 wks). I have copied the letter to ACB, Royal College etc. Perhaps the professional organisation with the best connection to NHSE should seek immediate clarification from them, rather than Royal Mail?
