TULSA — Oklahoma's decision to move its public health lab to Stillwater has resulted in an almost complete turnover of its staff, a loss of efficiency, federal investigations into staffing and equipment calibration, concerns over accuracy of test results, and a large amount of testing sent out of state.And yet, when KRMG asked the State Health Department for an interview regarding the current state of affairs, we were first asked to submit questions in writing, and then simply told the spokesperson, as well as Oklahoma State Health Commissioner Keith Reed, would simply not be made available.
