I quite agree; sheep scab is a very complex and difficult disease. I don't think it's just down to the Welsh Government; I think it is down to the industry together. Certainly, we have been working together to do that. Unfortunately, because of decisions I had to take regarding the budget in relation to COVID, I wasn't able to put that funding forward, but certainly I am having discussions now about the next stage of the rural development plan, and I certainly can assure you and the industry that funding to assist in relation to eradication of sheep scab will be very high up in my priorities.
