Earlier this year I consulted on a proposal to change our legislation to enable us to publish information on bovine herds affected with TB. After considering the responses to the consultation I have decided to change the legislation and introduce this new power.


I intend to use this power to provide individuals with information on bovine herds affected with TB. This will enable them to take appropriate precautions to protect their herds from the spread of the disease. It will also raise awareness of the risk of purchasing animals with hidden infection.


It is important that Wales achieves and maintains the highest standards of animal health and welfare to improve farm incomes and realise our potential in the market place. I have taken this decision to support individual farm businesses and help them to minimise the risk of TB affecting their business. 


Raising standards of animal health and welfare is key to a profitable farm business and one of the primary aims of the TB Eradication Programme is to prevent the disease spreading to TB\-free farms. Whilst there has been an improvement in the disease situation over the past five years, TB continues to provide significant socio\-economic costs to farmers, the wider farming industry and to keepers of other animals such as camelids. The majority of the respondents agreed with the proposal to change the legislation. 


The power does not override the requirement for any proposed use to be compatible with the Data Protection Act 1998 and the European Convention on Human Rights. After careful consideration I have decided that the most useful way of publishing TB information is on a website. I have asked my officials to further explore this option and I will make a further statement on this in November.


The summary of responses to the consultation on sharing the location of TB infected farms has been published today on the Welsh Government website

Yn gynharach eleni, ymgynghorais ar gynnig i newid y ddeddfwriaeth er mwyn inni allu cyhoeddi gwybodaeth am fuchesi sydd wedi’u heintio â TB.  Ar ôl ystyried yr ymateb, rwyf wedi penderfynu newid y ddeddfwriaeth a chyflwyno pwerau newydd. 

Rwyf am ddefnyddio’r pŵer hwn i roi gwybodaeth i unigolion am ffermydd gwartheg sydd â TB.  Bydd yr wybodaeth yn helpu’r unigolion hynny i benderfynu ar y camau priodol i ddiogelu’u buchesi rhag y clefyd.  Bydd yn codi ymwybyddiaeth hefyd am beryglon prynu anifeiliaid â’r haint yng nghudd ynddynt. 

Mae’n bwysig bod Cymru’n sicrhau ac yn cynnal y safonau uchaf o ran iechyd a lles anifeiliaid er mwyn medru gwella incwm ffermydd a gwireddu eu potensial yn y farchnad. Rwyf wedi gwneud y penderfyniad i gefnogi busnesau fferm unigolion a’u helpu i ddiogelu’u busnesau rhag TB. 

Mae codi safonau iechyd a lles anifeiliaid yn allweddol i greu busnesau fferm proffidiol ac un o brif amcanion y Rhaglen Dileu TB yw rhwystro clefydau rhag lledaenu i ffermydd sydd heb TB.  Er bod y sefyllfa o ran y clefyd wedi gwella dros y pum mlynedd ddiwethaf, mae TB yn dal i fod yn dreth gymdeithasol ac economaidd ar ffermwyr, y diwydiant ffermio ehangach ac ar geidwaid anifeiliaid eraill fel teulu’r camel.  Roedd mwyafrif yr ymatebion o blaid y cynnig i newid y ddeddfwriaeth.   
Nid yw’r pŵer yn mynd yn groes i ofynion Deddf Diogelu Data 1998 a Chonfensiwn Ewrop ar Hawliau Dynol.  Ar ôl ystyried y mater yn ofalus, rwyf wedi penderfynu mai’r ffordd orau i gyhoeddi gwybodaeth am TB yw ar y wefan.  Rwyf wedi gofyn i’m swyddogion ymchwilio i’r opsiwn a byddaf yn gwneud cyhoeddiad arall ar y mater ym mis Tachwedd.  

Mae crynodeb o’r ymatebion i’r ymgynghoriad ar rannu lleoliad ffermydd sydd â TB wedi’i gyhoeddi heddiw ar wefan Llywodraeth Cymru.
