Foot Mouth Inquiry

• In Scotland, action was more rapid. The first
  outbreak was confirmed in Lockerbie on 1 March.
  Immediately, an operation swung into action to
  manage the emergency. This was, in our view, an
  example of the disease outbreak being handled as
  effectively as possible given the circumstances.
• The components of the effective response shown
  in Scotland were as follows
• proper planning and rehearsals
• access to all the senior people in the relevant
  agencies
• short chains of command up to and down from the
  centre
• decision making devolved as far as possible to
  local level
• good management information systems
• effective computer systems and links
• effective communications internally and
  externally, both with the media and with key
  stakeholders.
