SCL Hawkes Bay is changing the way it processes Folate and Vitamin B12 test request – these tests can now be ordered separately.
Vitamin B12 is not recommended for screening of asymptomatic patients.
Practices using electronic lab requesting (eOrder) will need to review their existing My Tab order groups – any order groups that contain the combined Vitamin B12 and Folate test will need to be edited to include the standalone test/s.
