A United Kingdom Government consultation on the implementation of the European Union Delegated Regulation on ‘safety features’ under the Falsified Medicines Directive will be released shortly. The consultation and accompanying impact assessment will focus on where the UK has legal scope to make changes. This will include the Government’s proposals over penalties and sanctions on hospitals, dispensing doctors and community pharmacies.
