Detail of outcome
During the four week discussion, there were 81 visits to the discussion page and 11 ideas were suggested.
Porcine Epidemic Diarrhoea (PED) is now a notifiable disease in England. The Specified Diseases (Notification) (Amendment) (England) Order 2015 (SI 2015 No. 2023) came into force on 18 December 2015.
The order also allows data sharing on suspect/confirmed cases with the Agriculture and Horticulture Development Board (AHDB) in order to provide targeted advice on appropriate disease control.
Original consultation
Consultation description
We want your view on plans to make porcine epidemic diarrhoea (PEDv) a notifiable disease in England. PEDv poses a significant risk to pig herds in England.
Proposals include sharing suspect/confirmed case details with Agriculture and Horticulture Development Board (AHDB) Pork. This would allow them to assist with early identification and containment of any disease outbreak and increase the likelihood of eliminating the disease.
