answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 18/11/2022 answer text <p>Compensation, as set out in the Animal Health Act 1981, is payable for healthy birds only. There is no compensation available for sick birds or birds that have died. Compensation policy for birds culled by HM Government for disease control purposes is designed to promote prompt reporting of suspicion, as swift and humane culling of birds on infected premises coupled with good biosecurity are critical for preventing the amplification of avian influenza and subsequent environmental contamination and to reduce the risk of disease spread from infected premises.</p><p>APHA makes its assessment of the disease status of the birds based on clinical inspection and veterinary judgment. Historically this assessment has been based on the actual number of birds culled rather than the number of healthy birds at the point that culling starts. The amount paid therefore depended on the evolution of the disease on site between the initial assessment of the number of healthy birds close to the start of culling less any that die between the start and end of culling.</p><p>In response to feedback from industry on the impact the rapid mortality caused by the current H5N1 strain and risk that escalating cases numbers leading to substantial delays to culling can have on the amount of compensation paid, changes to the compensation scheme for avian influenza have been introduced (effective from the 1 October).</p><p>Compensation will now be linked to decisions taken at the start of planned culling rather than at the end. This will allow us to give earlier certainty about entitlement to compensation, better reflect the impact of outbreaks on premises and lead to swifter payments to help stem any cash flow pressures.</p><p>The amount of compensation is established by APHA using the relevant <a href="https://eur03.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fassets.publishing.service.gov.uk%2Fgovernment%2Fuploads%2Fsystem%2Fuploads%2Fattachment_data%2Ffile%2F1022649%2Fpoultry-valuation-table.zip&amp;data=05%7C01%7Cpqteam%40defra.gov.uk%7C4f045874109c4e13de2308dac347e52b%7C770a245002274c6290c74e38537f1102%7C0%7C0%7C638037010793435176%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000%7C%7C%7C&amp;sdata=2gXethd1P%2F3ccDVHvE%2FutV%2F5B2RcYUEKdkUJK0qKhdc%3D&amp;reserved=0" target="_blank">valuation rate card</a> (or for specialist stock by a specialist valuer).</p><p><a href="https://eur03.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fassets.publishing.service.gov.uk%2Fgovernment%2Fuploads%2Fsystem%2Fuploads%2Fattachment_data%2Ffile%2F934688%2Fbiosecurity-poultry-guide.pdf&amp;data=05%7C01%7Cpqteam%40defra.gov.uk%7C4f045874109c4e13de2308dac347e52b%7C770a245002274c6290c74e38537f1102%7C0%7C0%7C638037010793591417%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000%7C%7C%7C&amp;sdata=PXPWFuJTBAre%2Fi8lOv3mdduazH4De2uWzewf5yWfZS0%3D&amp;reserved=0" target="_blank">Biosecurity guidance</a> and a <a href="https://eur03.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fassets.publishing.service.gov.uk%2Fgovernment%2Fuploads%2Fsystem%2Fuploads%2Fattachment_data%2Ffile%2F1072675%2Faipz-self-assessment-checklist.odt&amp;data=05%7C01%7Cpqteam%40defra.gov.uk%7C4f045874109c4e13de2308dac347e52b%7C770a245002274c6290c74e38537f1102%7C0%7C0%7C638037010793591417%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000%7C%7C%7C&amp;sdata=zcJXVDsB%2Br0QIIT2NNN41KzSRnWLTYCgCMTNXdyTkpg%3D&amp;reserved=0" target="_blank">biosecurity self-assessment checklist</a> have been published by HM Government to assist all bird keepers in instigating and maintaining good biosecurity.</p> answering member constituency Sherwood answering member printed Mark Spencer question first answered 18/11/2022 16:44:07 answering member 4055 label Biography information for Sir Mark Spencer
