Foot and Mouth Review: 2007
Following the recent outbreak of foot and mouth disease identified in Surrey in August 2007, the Prime Minister has asked Dr Iain Anderson to look at the Government's response to the outbreak (Dr Anderson chaired the previous Inquiry into the 2001 outbreak). The terms of reference for the Foot and Mouth Review: 2007 are:
To conduct a review of the Government's handling of the outbreak of foot and mouth disease during 2007, in order to:
establish whether relevant points from the Lessons to be Learned Report on the 2001 outbreak were implemented;
establish whether new lessons might be drawn from the handling of the 2007 outbreak;
and to make recommendations by the end of 2007 to the Prime Minister and the Secretary of State for the Environment, Food and Rural Affairs on the future handling of foot and mouth disease outbreaks.
The independent Review is now beginning its formal programme of work. Dr Anderson will be supported by a small secretariat of staff chosen from across Government and externally. The Review welcomes views from everyone about the recent outbreak of foot and mouth disease.
The Review will be independent. Its central objective is to establish those areas where lessons identified in the 2002 Inquiry were learned and implemented as well as whether new lessons might be drawn from the handling of the 2007 outbreak.
Comments via e-mail about the outbreak and its handling should be sent to:
fmdreview@cabinet-office.x.gsi.gov.uk
Written comments should be sent to:
The Secretary
Foot and Mouth Review: 2007
Room 3.21

The closing date for receipt of information is Friday 16 November 2007.
