Rural Stakeholders Forum

The Rural Stakeholder Forum and its specific sub-groups facilitate focussed consultation and interaction with customers through regular face to face meetings, written contact, user surveys, use of internet, e-mail and telephone calls. The sub groups have made a significant contribution to a range of policy issues through a multi-disciplined/partnership approach.

There are three main Rural Stakeholder Forum sub groups. These are:-

Animal Health and Welfare Sub Group;
Rural Development Sub Group; and
Equine Sub Group.
