My Lords, was not this so-called risk-based approach used in the monitoring of care homes? Has that not been a disaster?

No, my Lords, it has not been a disaster. It is sensible to look at accreditation and such devices to ensure that regulation is directed where it is most needed.

Mr. Campbell-Savours: To ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what estimates have been drawn to his attention as to
the cost to the meat industry of BSE. [2798]
Mr. Rooker: There have been several studies which have addressed certain aspects of the costs of BSE, but I am not aware of any
estimates of the total cost to the meat industry. However, the Ministry has commissioned an independent study to provide a
comprehensive assessment of the economic impact of BSE across the whole UK economy and within particular regions. The study is
expected to be completed during September 1997.

Mr. Campbell-Savours: To ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food how many veterinarians have been dismissed for failure
to ensure compliance with health inspection regulations over the last 36 months. [13]
Mr. Rooker: The Neat Hygiene Service was established as an Executive Agency of MAFF on 1 April 1995 and took over responsibility
from local authorities for meat hygiene and inspection in licensed fresh meat premises.
Operational and staffing matters are the responsibility of the Meat Hygiene Service and I have asked the Chief executive to reply to
my hon. Friend.
Letter from Johnston McNeill to Mr. Dale Campbell-Savours, dated 21 May 1997:
As Chief Executive of the Meat Hygiene Service (MHS) your Parliamentary Question to the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food
concerning the number of veterinarians dismissed for failure to ensure compliance with health inspection regulations over the last
36 months has been passed to me for reply.(13)
The Meat Hygiene Service (MHS) was established as an Executive Agency of the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food (MAFF) on 1
April 1995. It took over from some 300 local authorities responsibility for enforcing meat hygiene, inspection and animal welfare at
slaughter legislation in licensed fresh meat premises in England, Scotland and Wales. The MHS has no information about veterinarians
dismissed prior to this date.
The MHS directly employs 45 Official Veterinary Surgeons. In addition, the Agency makes use of 131 full time equivalent contract
OVS. These OVSs work together with Meat Hygiene Inspectors as meat hygiene and inspection teams in abattoirs. MHS staff take
appropriate action to ensure plant operators comply with the relevant hygiene, inspection and animal welfare legislation. The MHS
operates a clear hierarchy of enforcement starting with informal advice and guidance escalating, where problems persist or are
severe, to the service of statutory notices, and ultimately progressing in severity to prosecution or action by the State Veterinary
Service to revoke the premises licence where there has been a failure to respond to earlier requirements. No directly employed OVSs
have been dismissed for failure to ensure compliance with this legislation. A number of contract OVSs have had their contracts
terminated as their performance has not proved satisfactory.
The MHS has recently reinforced its instructions to its staff on ensuring compliance with hygiene legislation. All MHS staff have
been reminded of the importance of ensuring full compliance with hygiene controls, and of those procedures which must be followed in
relation to hygienic carcase dressing. In particular staff were reminded that meat showing evidence of contamination must not be
health marked as fit for sale for human consumption. Where there is evidence that the health mark has been applied to a carcase
showing signs of visible contamination, this will be regarded, prima facie, as a potential gross misconduct, and will be the subject
of disciplinary investigation. Gross misconduct is a dismissable offence.
The MHS is also responsible for enforcing Specified Bovine Material (SBM) controls in licensed premises. These controls are central
to the protection of public health from any risk of BSE. They require the removal from all cattle at slaughter of all those tissues
that might, in theory, harbour BSE infectivity. MHS staff are also fully aware that they may face disciplinary action as a result of
any failure to enforce these controls. One contract OVS has received a written caution.
