Following calls in our Scottish election manifesto, the SRUC confirms a post-mortem laboratory will be retained at Inverness
The announcement means that the threat of Scotland being without any disease surveillance has been prevented and offers laboratory staff more certainty about the future.
Grace Webster, BVA Scottish Branch President, said:
“It’s vital that Scotland continues to have an effective disease surveillance structure in place. BVA called for the retention of post-mortem facilities in our recent election manifesto and we are pleased that the concerns of veterinary surgeons have been heard.
"Maintaining good access to diagnostic services and feasible carcase collection as well as a coordinated network of disease control and surveillance is of immense importance to veterinary surgeons and farmers, particularly those working in remote areas, in order to safeguard animal health and promote animal welfare.”
