No. It was in the UK because the UK had done something our Department did not do. Is there any possibility the Department will go back to Europe to ask if there is any upskilling, be it through veterinary nurses or the responsible person? Is there any hope the Department will talk to them about trying to resolve that issue? That needs doing.
Will there be a resolution - we have talked about the faecal egg count - where a farmer has to get the prescriptions and it cannot be done from a distance? Will there be a resolution to the therapeutic and non-therapeutic issue? This is what seems to be bogging the whole job down.
