Discussions are active and ongoing between the relevant parties to examine all aspects of a potential transfer of local authority veterinary services to the Department of Agriculture, Food and Marine. These discussions are likely to continue for some months at least.

At this time no decision has been made as regards what aspects of the local authority services, if any, may transfer to my Department.
