The Food Standards Agency (FSA) would think it sensible and prudent to cease sampling of those beds that have been closed indefinitely. However, the FSA would wish to be informed of any such cases and should the bed be scheduled for re-opening. If sampling is ceased, some additional samples may be required before a bed may be re-opened.
