Creating a forum for businesses, consumers and others is intended to help ensure the success of the proposed change programme and to build co-operation and partnership working. The advisory body will meet at least twice a year.
The 16 members of the advisory body comprise 11 representatives of consumers, food business operators in the red, white and game sectors, primary producers, meat retailers and supermarkets, and MHS contractors, plus the Meat Hygiene Service, Defra, the Welsh Assembly Government, the Scottish Government and the Department of Agriculture and Rural Development in Northern Ireland.
The Advisory Body's independent chair is Patrick Wall, Associate Professor of Public Health in the School of Public Health and Population Science, University College Dublin. He was the first Chief Executive of the Food Safety Authority of Ireland and was chair of the European Food Safety Authority management board.
