Question
What action is the Welsh Government taking to raise awareness of the insect-borne viral disease bluetongue to Welsh farmers?
Answer
Answered by Cabinet Secretary for Climate Change and Rural Affairs
We consistently raise awareness via numerous social media channels and Gwlad and also provide regular updates and information on GOV.WALES including the provision of downloadable posters and fliers.
Additionally, the bluetongue risk to Wales is discussed at monthly exotic disease preparedness workshops with industry partners, who assist with raising disease awareness and disseminating information.
