Medicines escalation procedure

This procedure provides a mechanism for the pharmaceutical industry to resolve any issues informally and is intended to provide a clear hierarchy for escalation if required.  The procedure is independent to the Agency's Complaints Procedure which only covers complaints about administrative decisions and does not cover complaints relating to regulatory decisions.
