The veterinary duty scheme was established pursuant to the Act dated 15 June 2001 on veterinary surgeons and other animal health personnel, section 3a. The veterinary duty scheme shall ensure that the municipality/municipalities establish a clinical duty for veterinary surgeons in all parts of the country, so that necessary veterinary help can be obtained outside ordinary working hours. The veterinary duty scheme is a necessary part of the stand-by against serious infectious animal diseases and it is important for maintaining good animal welfare.
