Queensland forensics lab boss didn't tell health minister when she first became aware of DNA testing
The head of forensic sciences in Queensland met with Health Minister Yvette D'Ath in June to discuss urgent problems with DNA testing of crime scene samples but failed to mention police had been briefing her about the issues for almost six months, an inquiry has heard.
Lara Keller, the acting executive director of Queensland Health's Forensic and Scientific Services (FSS), told the inquiry into forensic DNA testing she met with Ms D'Ath and the department's Acting Director-General Shaun Drummond on June 2.
She said she was asked to attend the meeting after the Queensland Police Service's submission to the Women's Safety and Justice Taskforce was published with concerning data relating to forensic DNA testing in the state.
