answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 03/03/2023 answer text <p>Defra monitors and evaluates the effectiveness of the bTB eradication strategy in England through a range of methods, including the publication of national and regional bTB statistics, compilation of epidemiology reports, the use of mathematical models, economic cost-benefit and regulatory impact assessments of new policies, value-for-money analyses of existing policies and user surveys.</p><p> </p><p>Until recently, vaccination was only carried out in small disparate areas, making it difficult to monitor the effect of badger vaccination on cattle incidence. We are working on a herd-level analysis which will help assess the effectiveness of badger vaccination on herd incidence levels. However, we are confident that badger vaccination will reduce the incidence of TB in cattle as we accept that badgers cause a proportion of breakdowns and vaccination has been shown to reduce disease in badgers. Therefore, badger vaccination should reduce TB incidence in cattle.</p><p> </p><p>The Badger Edge Vaccination Scheme (BEVS2) provides funding towards the cost of vaccinating badgers in the Edge Area of England. We are currently exploring the potential to extend the grant for an additional year until February 2024, for partners that have demonstrated clear progress towards the continued vaccination of badgers. We will continue to work with partners on potential ways of deploying widespread cost-effective vaccination schemes across England.</p> answering member constituency Sherwood answering member printed Mark Spencer question first answered 03/03/2023 14:44:02 answering member 4055 label Biography information for Sir Mark Spencer
