Henry Kwek on Veterinary Practice Bill
Keep faith with pet owners and make sure that better standards do not come at the cost of accessibility and affordability, said MP Henry Kwek. Speaking in parliament on Wednesday (Apr 8), he proposed ways to improve the framework. The government should be clear about affordable and accessible animal care and seriously examine the broader costs of caring for pets, he said. It should also track broad trends in the cost of pet care and provide a sense of how costs are driven by inflation, manpower, advanced treatment and regulatory and professional requirements. There should be a stronger voice for animal welfare and pet owners’ interests, he added.
