Detail of outcome
The evidence provided by the responses to the consultation shows that there is broad support for the decrease in licence fees. Therefore the fees proposed in the consultation will go ahead unchanged. See Annex A for details.
There is mixed support for the introduction of a fee to fund the FMD logo scheme. MHRA aims to charge businesses a fee equal to the cost of services they have received and will be maintaining one fee for all online sellers. The fees are set out in Annex A.
Original consultation
Consultation description
The Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) plans to reduce some of its existing statutory fees by between 10 and 15%. MHRA only makes adjustments to fees as and when necessary and may make further fee changes in 2017/18 if required.
From 1 July 2015, MHRA has operated a statutory registration scheme and logo system for UK-based online sellers of medicines. MHRA proposes to introduce a fee to recover the costs of operating this scheme.
