We haven’t yet established how the additional 16 FSNs came to be in the list that we emailed yesterday or how the date range text in the email subject line (which is normally copy/paste from the webpage) stated 9 to 13 September 2023 instead of 9 to 13 September 2024. It’s possible the page has been amended and the issue date of 17 September and publication date of 19 September suggests this may have happened.  However, we have raised a query with MHRA and we are also looking for possible explanations within our own process. In the meantime, based on limited checks, the additional 16 FSNs appear to be historical but possibly not previously posted on the MHRA website. In addition there is no indication they have been duplicated from a previous list(s). We therefore recommend you process the additional 16 FSNs as you normally do and we’ll provide further information as it becomes available.

Kind regards

Innes Connor
