Minister of Home Affairs Robeson Benn has said that while the DNA analysis workflow system was almost fully operational, some samples are still being sent overseas for analysis.
Responding to a question at his ministry’s end-of-year press conference, he said, “There are particular ones, and depending too on the quality and speed of return which we have sent overseas. I think we are waiting on particular instrumentation to make that even faster.”
Asked about the functionality of the system so far, Benn assured reporters that efforts were being made to improve the speed and quality of DNA testing.
