Dr. Suann "agrees with point 6 of the Committee’s observations regarding the introduction of Authorised Officers as this initiative will permit unprecedented access to all horses at various life stages for testing and inspection.". Can we talk about the training of these authorised officers? There is no mention made of the authorised officer manual. Will Dr. Hillyer give the committee an idea of the training that takes place and the reception that some of these officers get when they go into a yard?
