Eradication and containment of P. kernoviae – division of responsibilities Defra’s Plant Health Division (PHD) has overall policy and legislative responsibility for P. kernoviae relating to plants and plant produce in GB; liaison with direct stakeholders and interested parties at national level and for coordination of action across Defra. The Plant Health and Seeds Inspectorate (PHSI) are responsible for enforcing all aspects of the policy; carrying out inspections, surveys, eradication campaigns and liaison with local Government and stakeholders. The Central Science Laboratory provides scientific and technical advice/support to PHD/PHSI and carries out research and provides diagnostic services. In February 2003 an interdepartmental Phytophthora ramorum Programme Board was formed with representatives from Defra, the Forestry Commission and the then Scottish Executive, together with their scientific support agencies. The renamed Phytophthora Programme Board is responsible for co-ordinating action against P. ramorum and P. kernoviae and commissioning associated research. It is advised by a number of sub committees, including an Industry Liaison Group. |
