Sesiwn dystiolaeth: Panel 2 - P-06-1291 Cynnal ymchwiliad i’r pryniant corfforaethol o’r proffesiwn milfeddygol yng Nghymru
Thank you, Peter, for that. Before I bring Peredur Owen Griffiths in, can I perhaps just ask a question to Caroline first? The Veterinary Surgeons Act 1966 is the law that all of this is governed by. The change in 1999 was to allow those persons who are not…

Okay. We'll try and get through beforehand, but if we do need to extend, we've got until 4 o'clock. We'll jump straight into questions from Peter Fox.

That's no problem at all. Can I just check? We're slightly running behind schedule. Would it be okay if we need to extend till 4 o'clock? Is that okay with both of you?

Dr Mewes, if you have to go and do that, perhaps we can extend with Dr Paterson.

Just two seconds, Peter; can I just ask if Dr Paterson and Dr Mewes would be willing to go to 14:50 and extend this meeting?

Thank you, Dr Paterson. I thank Peredur Owen Griffiths as well. We have roughly nine minutes or so left. Perhaps we can just extend a little bit beyond that to let Peter Fox have an opportunity to ask his questions.

That would be really useful. I wonder—the same question—of that 59 per cent who are not the corporates, how many have signed up to the scheme as well. And then, perhaps, to ask Dr Mewes, if there was an update to the Veterinary Surgeons Act and this became…
