<p>Defra is aware of the challenges facing the veterinary sector, including retention
of qualified veterinary surgeons. The Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons, as the
regulator for the veterinary profession, published its Workforce Action Plan in 2022
to progress issues of recruitment, retention and return. Defra works closely with
the RCVS on issues concerning the veterinary profession and continues to keep reform
of the Veterinary Surgeons Act, where amendments might support increases in recruitment
and retention, under review.</p>
