Mr. Conor Geraghty:

A script is the outcome of a consultation. The work is not in writing the script. The work is in arriving at a decision. At the moment, we have a model from the Department in the TASAH where vets get paid for doing this work. Ultimately, it is a job and people will have to get paid for it. It depends on the supports that are in place and on the relationship between the farmers and the vets. To do the sort of work involved, there is no doubt somebody will have to pay for the vets' time because we have to hire vets and they have to charge billable hours.
