Red tape review reaps benefits

The review, published at the Royal Highland Show, highlighted that almost 5,000 fewer inspections have stemmed from the drive to cut bureaucracy in the organisation.

Environment Minister Roseanna Cunningham said: “The first SEARS annual review, published at last year’s Show demonstrated how far the nine partner organisations had come in working closely together.

“A year later, a richer understanding is emerging of the benefits brought about by the SEARS changes.

“Further reductions have been made on inspections, resulting in more time saved for customers and there has been excellent progress on biosecurity, co-locations, and reducing bureaucracy.”
