Details

In February 2018, we commissioned an independent review of our strategy for achieving Officially Bovine Tuberculosis Free (OTF) status in England by 2038.

The review was led by Professor Sir Charles Godfray supported by a small working group. The review took place during Spring and Summer 2018 and reported to Ministers in October 2018.

The government is considering all of the recommendations contained within the review report. A government response was published on 5 March 2020.
