  "text": "(This note is not part of the Order)\nThis Order amends the Specified Diseases (Notification and Slaughter) Order 1992 by adding dourine, equine infectious anaemia and glanders to the list of diseases in that Order to which section 32 of the Animal Health Act 1981 applies. Section 32 of that Act gives the Scottish Ministers a power to slaughter animals affected, suspected of being affected, or exposed to specified diseases.\nThis Order also prescribes the scale of compensation payable where the Scottish Ministers cause the slaughter under section 32 of the Animal Health Act 1981 of an animal confirmed to be affected with dourine, equine infectious anaemia or glanders.\nA Business and Regulatory Impact Assessment has not been produced for this instrument as animal disease outbreak is unpredictable and its impact would vary depending on the location and nature of an outbreak.",
