Spongiform Encephalopathy Advisory Committee (SEAC)

The Spongiform Encephalopathy Advisory Committee (SEAC) was set up more than 15 years ago to provide independent expert scientific advice to the Government on spongiform encephalopathies such as BSE, CJD and scrapie. SEAC's remit is wide-ranging, and covers public health, food safety and animal health issues.

SEAC was the first Government committee to hold its meetings in public, ensuring greater openness and transparency. Meetings are also webcast to open up the work of the committee to a wider audience.

SEAC meetings are held between four and six times a year and are available for viewing on the internet within two working days of taking place. If you are interested in viewing the latest meeting, or those held since April 2004, please click on the link below to go to the SEAC home page from where you can register your interest. The SEAC website also provides the dates of forthcoming SEAC meetings.
