Labtests CEO Ulf Lindskog is strongly denying that a subsidy scheme by Procare Network North is to help his company, as they find their feet.
Procare has started paying contracted clinics $5 for every sample their nurses take, in the hope that it will ease problems associated with the transition from Diagnostic Medlab to Labtests.
Chairman of Procare Health, Dr Peter Didsbury says the subsidy is for the sake of patients but Mr Lindskog says it's not necessary as they have collection centre infrastructure to cater for the whole city.
