As agricultural policy in the UK is devolved, it is for each administration to decide its approach and what measures it should adopt according to its evaluation of the situation which pertains to its area. Accordingly, it would not be appropriate for Defra to comment on the approach which the devolved administrations have taken.<\/p>

Farmers in the UK, Ireland and across northern Europe, have experienced a difficult time this year with the hot, dry weather. The impacts are likely to be most severely felt by grazing livestock due to the shortage of grass, but the full effect may not be realised until later in the year. We have prioritised practical solutions to help farmers increase access to fodder and bedding both now and in the coming months. These actions will help farmers to limit the impact of extra feed costs by allocating land to forage growth and grazing, but we will keep the situation under review.<\/p>

We have also made the point to the European Commission that whilst the UK is committed to working to identify appropriate responses to this year\u2019s weather impacts, these should not interfere with the normal functioning of the market or obscure the focus of farmers in mitigating weather impacts.<\/p>

Opportunities such as the ones described above were discussed with a wide range of stakeholders at the National Farmers\u2019 Union \u201cDry Weather Summit\u201d on 1 August 2018 and we have received some further representations in writing from farming industry organisations. Further discussions took place at the Rural Payments Agency (RPA) Industry Partnership Group meeting in Reading on 20 August 2018. Additionally, a small number of individual farmers have made representations through the RPA\u2019s Helpline. All representations received have been considered in the round and informed the approach we are taking to offering all available support to alleviate the impacts of the recent extreme weather conditions for farmers.<\/p>

The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) published a clinical guideline on the diagnosis and management of Lyme disease in April 2018. Although guidelines are not mandatory, when exercising their judgement, clinicians are expected to take this guideline fully into account, alongside the individual needs, preferences and values of their patients. NICE\u2019s guideline does not recommend that doctors' surgeries should declare the number of patients diagnosed with Lyme Disease, but includes a research recommendation for \u201ca large clinico-epidemiological study to collect data on incidence, presenting clinical features, management and outcome of Lyme disease in community and hospital settings in the UK\u201d.

It is clear that the main impact of the recent drought conditions is likely to be felt by livestock farmers facing a shortage of fodder and that the full extent of the impacts may not be realised until later in the year. We have prioritised practical solutions to help farmers increase access to fodder and bedding both now and in the coming months. These actions will help farmers to limit the impact of extra feed costs by allocating land to forage growth and grazing, but we will keep the situation under review.<\/p>

<\/p>
Particular measures the Government has taken to help farmers are:<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
We have clarified that English farmers, unlike farmers in other EU countries where derogations have been sought, have been able to use fallow land for grazing since 1 July. That is because our legislation reflects what we consider to be the minimum EU requirement.<\/p>
<\/p><\/li>
We were the first Member State to raise a concern with the Commission to establish Ecological Focus Area (EFA) catch crops by 20 August: Other Member States agreed with us and the Commission agreed that \u201cforce majeure\u201d would apply in these circumstances, so we could waive penalties for farmers in this situation.<\/p>
<\/p><\/li>
We are seeking a derogation from the requirement to sow only certain seed types which are unpalatable to livestock in EFA areas as catch crop. The derogation we expect to secure this week will allow for grass and herbaceous forage to be grown in those areas, and those areas to be grazed.<\/p>
<\/p><\/li>
On Countryside Stewardship, Environmental Stewardship and forestry legacy agreements farmers are able to ask Natural England to agree a temporary variation to the agreement conditions, either as an Environmental Stewardship Derogation (to date, over 100 have been granted) or a Countryside Stewardship Minor and Temporary Adjustment (over 30 have so far been granted).<\/p><\/li><\/ul>
