The primary purpose of the Tier 2 National Exercise will be to test the Government's Contingency Plans and established policy, for the control of an outbreak of Foot and Mouth Disease (FMD).  Its aim is not to provoke new policy developments but rather to explore current policy and the arrangements for its implementation. It will also test APHA's operational response arrangements and expose communications, resilience and capability to scrutiny.
