Avian influenza (Bird flu): Management Board review of Defra handling of the avian influenza quarantine incident
The Defra Management Board commissioned this review to learn lessons from the Department’s experience of handling the avian influenza quarantine incident. The Management Board believes the report is a useful analysis which will help it develop systems and procedures for responding to events requiring rapid decisions on policy, and which generate large scale Parliamentary and media interest. The Department will be taking this forward in its work on contingency planning. In addition the Department will be responding to the report of the Dimmock Review and working with other EU member states to strengthen the policy framework for responding to a threat of avian influenza.
