- Abstract
The steady development of the IMVS was interrupted in the late 1970s by a series of enquiries into management efficiency, services provided and internal policies, as well as a critical review of the care and control of animals used in scientific experiments. The result was a major redefinition of core services: the Division of Forensic Pathology and the Division of Biology became the Forensic Science Centre (and relocated elsewhere in Adelaide) and the Division of Veterinary Pathology was transferred to the South Australian Department of Agriculture.
In July 1982, a new Act (with a new Council) defined and strengthened the relationships of the IMVS with the RAH and the University of Adelaide, allowing it to concentrate on the mainstream areas of medical pathology and their application to research, teaching and service.
