EXPLANATORY NOTE
(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations amend the Veterinary Medicines Regulations 2009 (S.I. 2009/2297). Certain veterinary medicinal products may be administered to wild animals without the animal being under the care of a veterinary surgeon and without that veterinary surgeon having carried out a clinical assessment, where that administration is authorised by the Secretary of State. The amendment enables the administration of such products not only (as is permitted at present) for the purposes of the treatment of the animal, but also in other circumstances (for example, where the animal’s condition is such that there is no expectation of its recovery or improvement).
An Impact Assessment has not been produced in respect of these Regulations as they have no impact on the costs of business or the voluntary sector.
