I would like the IVC's opinion on this. We heard in the previous session about the lay implantation of microchips and that the quality of data from microchips that are vet-verified is much better in jurisdictions that make that compulsory. Would the VCI have any objection to taking on that workload for the other three databases, if the law stated implantation had to be vet-verified? It could be done by a veterinary nurse either, just not by a layperson.
