The Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) have just published their Corporate Report which outlines their delivery plan for 2021-2023.
This supercedes the previously published 2018-2023 report.
It makes interesting reading but particularly section 5, relating to the medical device industry,
5. Establish a new medical devices legislative framework to support safe innovation and ongoing access to products.
Levelling up the UK's medical devices regime will ensure changes in clinical needs, technologies and patient views are integrated into modern and effective legislation.
We will design, consult on and implement a new legislative framework for medical devices.
This will support ongoing access to products with the aim of providing an environment in which to support safe innovation. It will build on the existing framework, taking into account international best practice.
