Question
Will the Minister confirm if the Welsh Government intends to extend or expand the resources and remit of projects such as Gwaredu Scab as part of efforts to tackle sheep scab?
Answer
Answered by Minister for Rural Affairs and North Wales, and Trefnydd
We are committed to investing £4.5 million to tackle Sheep Scab in Wales. The decision to extend or expand the resources and remit of Gwaredu Scab will depend on the success of the scheme and on the sheep industry coming together and utilising this unique opportunity to control and eradicate Sheep Scab from Wales.
