Following the General Election result, The National Office of Animal Health (NOAH) said it looks forward to working with the next government to help secure the UK’s future as a global centre of excellence for animal medicines.

NOAH chief executive Dawn Howard said: “We will continue to highlight to Government the importance of high standards of animal health and welfare which underpin our food security and public health. Our medicines are vital to support this: they treat and prevent disease keeping our livestock and pets healthy.

“We will be working with our members to provide clarity and guidance as Brexit negotiations commence – seeking the best possible outcome for the veterinary medicines sector.”
