Andy Quinn Complete – At the present time, responses will be achieved without growth in headcount, for example through adjustments to existing organisational structure, and within existing budget allocation. FSA has agreed the priority of resolving challenges concerning digital forensics capabilities and a continued focus on the NFCU’s prevention work, including as part of a broader FSA approach. A review of the Review’s Areas for Improvement (AFIs) identified 31 tasks to be commenced or completed within FY 23/24. All 24 of the tasks for completion within the FY have been commenced or are complete. |

Julie Pierce and Rebecca Sudworth Ongoing: • In the September Chief Executive Report it was noted that new work had required reprioritisation and work in some areas including the Foodborne disease framework had slowed. • SERD is planning to deliver a number of pieces of relevant new research before the end of the calendar year. Key outputs include a review of research commissioned under the AMR research programme, a report on the completed pilot of the IID3 project, the full results of which will inform and support the prioritisation of future intervention strategies, and a horizon-scanning workshop to understand food safety threats that will face UK consumers in the future. We also have projects going beyond the end of the year in IID3 delivery, Salient and PATH-SAFE. • Policy is reviewing the FSA/FSS approach to controlling foodborne disease and will update the Board on foodborne disease priorities in December 2023. • SERD will review and, if appropriate consider if thresholds (for key pathogens) at which the FSA would carry out action need updating – progress for December Board discussion. |
