FMD Stakeholder Group

Stakeholder meetings provide a mechanism for direct communication between the Scottish Government and stakeholders, particularly in disseminating current issues to their membership and providing a sounding board to inform policy development and implementation.

A well established Animal Health and Welfare stakeholder group meets regularly to discuss a range of issues. This group forms the core of the stakeholder group for liaison on the Foot and Mouth disease outbreaks in Surrey.

Minutes of these meetings can be found at the links below.
