Mr. Conor Geraghty:

The prescription is the outcome of this service that is provided where you have to gather the data and make a justification.

Whatever the service is, it is going to have to be paid for. If the farmer is not going to use TASAH to pay the vet, someone is going to have to pay the vet. We have to work this out. It will have to be worked out with merchants, vets and farmers and it will all be different. Obviously we cannot decide. Every vet will have his or her own local or individual arrangements with farmers and that is probably where this needs to move now. I cannot see any further loosening of the regulation. The protocol that the Minister put into it has loosened it up such that the CPPR basically only starts once the prescription is written.
