And the plan period commenced on 1st January 2021. As part of this transition the Government is developing publicly-funded schemes that will make ongoing payments for demonstrable animal health and welfare improvements. These will include: an animal health and welfare pathway to address treatment of endemic diseases; a capital grants scheme for investments that are known to raise levels of health and welfare; and a payment by results scheme.
