Is there any appetite among the experts to return to the previous regime, with proper training? I appreciate there is a legal difficulty regarding the possibility of retrospective legislation, or statutory instruments that are retrospective, and whether that would comply with the EU regulation is not entirely clear. Is it absolutely necessary that vets prescribe, not from a legal perspective but rather from the point of view of driving down the overuse of medicines and thereby creating resistance?
