First, I hope that it will play a part in alerting the nation to a potentially national Crisis of Epidemic Proportions and in securing broad agreement on the role of the Government in initiating and carrying out a range of essential and increasingly urgent measures.
If the Government do not act much more decisively and quickly, instead of doing too little too late, it will become a Crisis of Epidemic Proportions.
The country is facing a serious Crisis of Epidemic Proportions.
My criticism of the Government and of MAFF Ministers is that they should have had the courage to say that we faced a Crisis of Epidemic Proportions and that, in most cases, there would be on-farm burial, except in a few cases where it was unsafe to do so.
