New Risk-Based Inspection Programme for good practice inspections

While the MHRA has been incorporating elements of risk management into its inspection programme for a considerable time, the Agency’s commitment to the Hampton principles and the Government agenda for Better Regulation (external link) has focused efforts in this area.

On 1 April 2009, the MHRA introduced a formal risk-based inspection programme following public consultation and a pilot study.

The ongoing development of this formal Risk-Based Inspection Programme will enable Inspectorate resources to be concentrated in those areas that maximise protection of public health while reducing the overall administrative and economic burden to stakeholders.

The Agency welcomes feedback on the implementation and development of theprogramme from interested parties.
