Mr. Ray Doyle:

The summer period is challenging for lots of developments and progress has been quite slow. The development of the NVPS has been progressing but the lack of interaction from the veterinary profession to the NVPS is halting greatly the further development of that system. The co-op software providers have been interacting with the Department but there are many unanswered questions which again hinge around the veterinary profession interacting or how they might populate the NVPS.
