Are there nationally set set parameters for minimum and maximum levels of T4, T3, and TSH,, or does each Health trust's lab set its own?

The reference ranges are related to the lab and the testing technology they use. Quite possibly every single lab in the country has at least slightly different ranges.
I do not know how labs fit to trust boundaries - but it seems likely that at least some labs will do work for more than one trust, and some trusts might even have more than one lab. So I doubt whether trust boundaries are the defining aspect.
