Collection of DNA <br /> In keeping in compliance with the Session law 2003-376 House Bill 79, the <br /> nurse or member of the Detention Center health team will provide the <br /> phlebotomy service for the collection of the DNA samples that are specific <br /> to meeting the requirements mandated by the state of North Carolina. This <br /> does not address the issue of obtaining DNA for the use of forensic <br /> investigation, for which no member of the Detention Center medical team <br /> is to participate in any actions of this nature. The Detention Center <br /> medical team is only to provide the services of phlebotomy and under no <br /> circumstances should be involve with the records keeping, finger printing <br /> and transport of the specimen. The location and time of this service will be <br /> established in agreement with both the duty officers and the medical team <br /> member. This procedure is never to interfere with the health care <br /> provider's responsibility to deliver health care services to the inmates of <br /> this facility. <br />
