The Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) is committed to making transparency and accountability to the public a fundamental principle of how we do business.

The Freedom of Information Act places a duty on public authorities to make as much information as possible available to the public. We do this by publishing the data that people need to understand who we are, what we spend and what we achieve.

Under the Act, we have to:

  • Produce a publication scheme which contains information about the types of information we usually publish.
  • Make sure that information is published in accordance with the scheme.

Types of information we publish

We publish information about:

  • Who we are and what we do
  • What we spend and how we spend it
  • What our priorities are and how we are doing
  • How we make decisions
  • Our policies and procedures
  • Lists and registers
  • The services we offer

We don’t usually publish information that is:

  • not held by the MHRA
  • exempt from disclosure under the Freedom of Information Act, or is otherwise properly considered to be protected from disclosure
  • in draft form
  • not easy to access (for example, it is in archive storage)

How to get information

We publish most of our information on gov.uk. If you can’t find the information you need on this site, you can make a Freedom of Information (FOI) Request.

Charges which may be made for information published under this scheme

Material which is published and accessed on a website will be provided free of charge.

Charges may be made for information subject to a charging regime specified by Parliament.

Charges may be made for actual costs incurred such as:

  • photocopying
  • postage and packaging
  • the costs directly incurred as a result of viewing information
