Made contact with Helen Fox of Procurement in Derriford, Plymouth. Tel. 01752 431064. After a following email contact she had the mistaken impression that I wanted to buy the test from Derriford so all I got was a 'We don't sell them' reply. I relied and called again to affrirm that I was only querying whether Derriford uses the BTA Stat test. I am expecting an email Monday or thereafter.

Spoke to Helen Fox, she's too busy with in-house requests, mine is a low priority, so I will email her. Other options are to ask via the GP and Dr. Hammonds.

12:10 Via Main switchboard I was referred to a Mr Stott 01392 402539, but no-one available. Then called PALS who referred me to Karen Green. She was unavailable but I spoke to Jane Billing, whom deals more with prostate issues than bladder. She said she hadn't heard of the BTA Stat but had heard of the NMP22. We spoke a while on the issue that cystoscopy was the common procedure re: cytology etc. She will ask Karen to call me if she has any more information.

14:25 Spoke to Mr Crundwell's secretary, who was very helpful. She managed to find Mr Stott but apparently he hasn't heard of either the BTA Stat or the NMP22 options ???
