All four organisations raised the issue of wildlife. A programme is in place for badgers. Vaccination in that regard is being upped in tempo. They all mentioned deer in particular. Do they have proposals for how the Department should tackle the issue of deer? What can be done? Should there be a severe culling or a vaccination programme, for example? I took from all our guests' presentations that they believe one of the major contributory factors for the continuous spread of TB to be wildlife. The badger programme is in place and the vaccination rate in that regard is increasing. What are our guests' proposals in respect of deer?
