Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, with reference to FOI 903 to the UK Health Security Agency, what assessment he has made of the potential impact of the non-sharing of audit documents with government agencies on trust and confidence in the (a) pharmaceutical industry’s self-regulatory system and (b) Moderna-UK Strategic Partnership.

Answer

The UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) has requested a copy of the audit report from the Prescription Medicines Code of Practice Authority (PMCPA).

An interim case report is available on the PMCPA website. The PMCPA is a self-regulatory body, which independently administers the Association of the British Pharmaceutical Industry Code of Practice for the Pharmaceutical Industry.

The UKHSA continues discussions with Moderna on their response to the PMCPA’s recommendations. This is being considered and reviewed alongside the management of the Moderna-United Kingdom Strategic Partnership.
