A Leisure Centre in Newtownabbey, Northern Ireland, has said a company hired to test for the legionnaires' disease bacterium has admitted producing fake test results. The Valley Leisure Centre was given the fabricated results over a six-month period last year by Belfast-based Healthy Buildings International Ireland Ltd, who had been contracted to carry out monthly checks. Newtownabbey Borough Council Chief Executive Jacqui Dixon said "the council received an anonymous letter last week which made allegations about the testing of Legionella in our swimming pools. So we launched an immediate investigation into the matter, As a result of the company who were involved in the testing admitted that our results were falsified for a six-month period during 2011." The council has said the swimming pool does not pose a risk to the public, however the spa area remains closed while further tests are carried out. The Health and Safety Executive is now investigating what happened. In a statement, Healthy Buildings International said they were in the process of issuing legal proceedings against a former employee. They said they were investigating what they described as an anonymous and defamatory letter and would issue a fuller statement once legal clearance had been given.
