Formal public consultation on the legal framework for the Medical Device Information System (MDIS) will begin later this year with the aim of laying the regulations in 2022.

The Government continues to closely monitor the implementation of the Medicines and Medical Devices Act 2021. This includes assessing the timeframe and resources required to deliver the roll out of the MDIS, which is being led by NHS Digital.
