It depends on the protocols. When the Townsville milk bank, run by a 
volunteer coordinator, existed in the late-1970s, milk samples were sent to 
the lab. Mothers were screened by questionnaire as regards health and 
medications. For information about this example, see:

North Queensland hospital. Med J Aust 1978; I:8-10.

and actuality in 1970s Australia. Midwifery 2012; 28:247-251.
