    Pig Health and Welfare Council Biennial Report 2019–2020 Pig Health and Welfare Council: Biennial Report 2019–2020 Foreword The Chief Veterinary Officers (CVOs) of England, Wales and Scotland welcome the fifth biennial report of the Pig Health and Welfare Council (PHWC). We recognise and value the work of the PHWC in enabling partnership working across the sector and delivering invaluable technical expertise. Firstly, we would like to acknowledge the important role of the council in raising awareness, encouraging good practice, promoting biosecurity and leading continual improvements in health and welfare. Promoting good working practices enables producers to adapt and embrace changes that benefit the animals in their care. PHWC’s welfare group played a key role in the development of the welfare code of practice for pigs, which has been published this year. It provides the opportunity to demonstrate high welfare standards and help promote the UK brand both nationally and internationally. Christine Middlemiss Delivering improved health and welfare can reduce the need for the use Chief Veterinary Officer of antibiotics, helping to minimise the risk of AMR. The industry has set (UK) challenging targets to further reduce the use of antibiotics as part of the One Health approach. They are working together to promote change in working practices and provide support in actioning those changes. We see that PHWC continues to support the industry in their efforts by reaching out to all pig owners and providing evidence to encourage change in routine procedures and promote responsible use of veterinary medicines. From a disease control perspective, although the overall challenges of early detection and control of disease remain constant, the specific details change.

  • Streamlining the Quango State PAPER BRIEFING
    Streamlining the Quango State BRIEFING PAPER By Tim Ambler EXECUTIVE SUMMARY • Westminster governments have festooned themselves with public bodies, col- lectively barnacles on the ship of state. To govern well, the executive of a gov- ernment (the Cabinet and ministers) should focus on governing and not be side- tracked by other functions. The Public Administration Select Committee and the National Audit Office have complained of the lack of any clear taxonomy of these “arm’s length bodies” (ALBs). • Some of these ALBs (non-departmental public bodies) are part of, and yet in- dependent of, the executive at the same time. If being part of the executive is more important, they should be “executive agencies”; if being independent is more important, they should be accountable to another branch of state. The ex- ecutive is only one branch of the state – the legislature and judiciary are others. Democractic accountability derives from Parliament, our elected representa- tives; the executive is only democratic to the extent that it is accountable to Parliament. • Sir Robin Ibbs created executive agencies to provide government departments with specialist units to deliver policies. Crucially, their performance should be measured against pre-defined quantified targets and reported annually. • The Cabinet Office lists 16 “non-ministerial departments” and 185 “non-de- partmental public bodies”, (i.e. quangos). This paper proposes reclassification as either executive agencies, reporting to some branch of the state other than the executive, merger with another body or its parent department, privatisa- tion, or closure. • Not all readers will agree with every reclassification, but the wood matters more than individual trees.
