I trust that lessons have been learned and that there is now in place a more robust system of noting in clinical records and some form of audit to make sure that the noting is up to standard.

To the layman it would seem that all services across Scotland should be operating to the same standard and that standard should be as high as possible.

If any pathology or toxicology service is not accredited then should steps be taken to obtain accreditation?

If it has not already been done, consideration should be given to random auditing of clinical files to check procedures, note taking and the like.
