Testing priority in high-risk areas

Summary

Durkan asked whether testing favoured recurrent TB areas over clear areas; the Minister confirmed high-prevalence areas received special consideration.

Obviously, some herds were tested twice while others were not tested at all and I should like the Minister to confirm that greater emphasis was laid on those areas where there had been a recurrence of bovine TB rather than overlapping in areas declared clear or almost clear.

It is correct to say that last year the high risk or areas of high prevalence were earmarked for special consideration.
