Animal health disease control policy is a devolved matter. Defra Ministers meet regularly with their counterparts in the devolved administrations via the Inter-Ministerial Group for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs. The UK Chief Veterinary Officer also meets regularly with her counterparts in the UK devolved administrations to discuss animal health issues.
