answer text <p>Defra and its agencies received an additional £4.3 billion in the latest Spending Review in October 2021.</p><p>The Environment Agency (EA) receives over 100,000 incident reports a year, every one of which is recorded and assessed. The Environment Agency then focuses its efforts and resources on where they will have the most impact - so those which pose the greatest risk to the environment.</p><p>The Environment Agency's Incident Triage Project is looking at how the EA can best use its resources and maximise benefits for the environment. While it continues to attend the most serious incidents, the EA will concentrate its efforts on regulatory activities which prevent incidents from happening in the first place.
