Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency

The complainant requested information from the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (‘MHRA’), relating to data gathered about a cohort of pregnant women via the Yellow Card Monitor. The MHRA cited section 22 of FOIA and refused to provide the requested information because it was intended for future publication. The Commissioner’s decision is that the MHRA was correct to apply section 22 of FOIA at the time of the request. No steps are required as a result of this notice. Information Tribunal FT/EA/2024/0169 under appeal.
