The Cayman Islands Forensic Science Laboratory at the Health Services Authority (HSA) is advising persons seeking toxicology urine drug screening that there will be delays in the results due to an unforeseen issue with the screening equipment.

 

“The average time frame to receive reports has temporarily increased from one week to a three to four-week turnaround time,” explained Acting Forensic Manager Beverley Ifill. “We are still accepting patient and client walk-in samples, Monday to Friday 8:30am to 12:00pm, as the lab is working with another accredited laboratory specialising in drug screening to provide these results.”  

 

The HSA and Forensic Laboratory apologise for the inconvenience and thank everyone for their continued patience and understanding.

 

If you have any questions, please contact the Forensic Science Laboratory at 244-2853.
