The question
To ask the Scottish Government how much support it offers per ram to sheep farmers carrying out CT scans, and what information it has regarding how this compares with (a) England, (b) Wales and (c) Northern Ireland.
The answer
The Scottish government does not supply financial support for CT scans. CT scans are a commercial product available to farmers as a business choice. Scottish, English and Welsh levy bodies currently offer support to farmers for CT scans with the levy bodies themselves setting the rate of support provided. Further information on the levels of support and costs of the scans can be found at www.sruc.ac.uk/info/120274/ct_scanning_service
