Well, my information is incorrect. Can I ask about the idea of the 12-month prescription? Something similar is said online about the dairy health certificate, which happens on dairy farms on a particular basis. Do we need to be thinking about a more practical approach than that regarding what Mr. Corkery has just said about the vet's interaction with the animal itself? Are we looking at this on a 12-month prescription basis or are we looking at individual farm visits in order to deal with whatever the issue may be? I am looking for clarity on where the process is. Is it something similar to the dairy certificate application or will an individual call be required for the issue or plan?
