Joint (Industry/Government) Working Group
The Joint (Industry/Government) Working Group on Sharing Responsibilities and Costs of Animal Disease focussed on exotic disease and its work marked a change in how industry and Government worked together to share the responsibilities and costs of exotic animal disease.
The Group published its report on 12 July 2006 and concluded that a joint industry and government approach to sharing costs and responsibilities, based on genuine partnership was the right approach. The consultation on the report ended on 31 October 2006.
The formal work of the Group has now concluded. A new programme of work has been initiated to take forward this agenda on a UK/GB basis. Please see the Animal Health webpages for further information.
Details of on the Joint (Industry/Government) Working Group are available on the National Archives website.
