Dear all
As you know, MHRA publishes a list of new field safety notices on its website every week. We copy the list and paste it into an email which provides a list for you to check against so you can have assurance you have received all FSNs you are affected by.
MHRA has issued lists for 12-16 May and 26-30 May (which we’re about to issue), but not 19-23 May as would normally be expected. This date range gap may trigger a flag on some of your systems.
We don’t yet know if MHRA will issue a list covering this date range or whether it will be skipped. It’s possible that a list exists but web publication has been delayed due to a technical issue. However, if a list is issued covering the affected dates we will pass it on to you in the normal way.
Kind regards
