Response by 30th July 2024
This consultation is not really about the details of what the CMA have found, but more about whether we agree with the CMA that a ‘market test’ has been met and that it is fair and appropriate to proceed to a full investigation.
“When you know what is coming, prepare. When you don't know what is coming, position.”
What is our position? How do we want the various audiences to perceive us?
CMA: We aligned with the need for change but thoughtful to consequences. We are champions of pets and their owners (patient care). We are vidence based.
XLVet Members: We have supported them with thoughtful mitigation against unnecessary change
Members of the public: We are seen as champion of pets and owners (patient care)
RCVS: neutrality
Pharmaceutical industry: neutrality
Corporate Companies: We do not directly attack, but we do pose questions?
