    Consultation description


    Minister O'Neill has stated that the strategy and implementation action plan produced by the TBSPG should be all embracing and address all relevant issues. It should also re-energise relationships with all industry stakeholders.
    Its Interim Report represents the result of the TBSPG’s initial consultation in late 2014 - early 2015 and subsequent evidence gathering. It has been informed by meetings with industry stakeholders, representative organisations and veterinary and scientific experts.
    The TBSPG has over the summer months sought views on its Interim Report as to the most efficient and pragmatic actions required to achieve the greatest reduction in the level and cost of bovine TB in the shortest possible time.
    The consultation ended on Friday 4 September 2015. The TBSPG will now consider all the submissions as it works to finalise its considerations and produce its strategy.
