How do we get to the point
of recording it
• Formation of problem
animal monitoring working
group;
• Assumed that devolution of
monitoring of incident
reporting;
• Review of what is going
on, gaps;

coordinate the working
group, to develop
guidelines).
PAC (animals destroyed)
• Incident aggregation
(summary data versus
