The Authority was undertaking a wide range of appropriate enforcement activities when it identified breaches of legislation in its premises which was effectively supported by detailed and comprehensive computer and hard copy records. The file histories of its infectious disease activities were also detailed and demonstrated that thorough investigations had taken place. Significant support for local and national businesses and the local community was also evidenced through the amount of Home Authority activity and general advice and health promotional work being carried out.

The Authority did not have a documented procedure relating to its feedingstuffs activities and whilst some inspections had been carried out it was not clear that the activity had been appropriately targetted.
