Heb unrhyw gamau i fynd i’r afael â’r prif ffynonellau heintio eraill, ni ddisgwylir i’r polisïau presennol arwain at ostyngiad cyson a fyddai’n golygu, yn y pen draw, y byddai TB gwartheg yn cael ei ddileu o ardaloedd o Gymru lle mae TB gwartheg yn endemig. Rwyf wedi dadlau bob amser bod angen gweithredu’n eang er mwyn dileu TB gwartheg, felly, rwyf yn falch heddiw o gael cyhoeddi dwy elfen arall –Gorchymyn Moch Daear (Ardal Reoli) (Cymru) 2011 a Gorchymyn Twbercwlosis (Cymru) 2011.
Current policies alone are not expected to produce a sustained reduction that would ultimately lead to the eradication of bovine TB in areas of Wales endemic with bovine TB, whilst other main sources of infection remain unchecked. I have always maintained the need for a comprehensive approach to the eradication of bovine TB. Today’s announcement on the introduction of the Badger (Control Area) (Wales) Order 2011 and the Tuberculosis (Wales) Order 2011 are important elements of that approach.
