Once the results are transferred into the table test_results, what is 
done with the extra data that had accompanied the result, and which 
for example had served as the basis to identify the source, and the 
patient identifiers?

The answer will be pertinent to my next email which (in part) 
questions issues when you inherit responsibility for results of 
patients in whom you had not had responsibility (but have it now, on 
account of having been improperly sent results).
