Recommendation
As part of reform of the Veterinary Surgeons Act, the government should separate the RCVS’s professional leadership role from any regulatory functions within the veterinary profession, creating a new independent body that can oversee the expanded role of a reformed Act. It should draw on models used in other regulated professions to achieve this, taking account of the specific requirements of the veterinary profession. (Recommendation, Paragraph 50) 27
