&lt;p&gt;taken as a positive &amp;#39;Although Defra currently has no plans to undertake a fundamental review of the Veterinary Surgeons Act, we are regularly in touch with the RCVS to better understand its priorities for regulatory reform&amp;#39;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This to me suggests that ANY proposed changes to the VSA are going to be a long time coming - and if this is the case gives the veterinary nurses plenty of time to form and mobilise a single representative group which can be taken seriously and truly represents all members and all levels &amp;nbsp;of nursing staff &amp;nbsp;- and I am sorry BVNA but you are not that group.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Whose up for it?&lt;/p&gt;
