Laying of GB VMRs before Parliament
7th March 2024
NOAH welcomes the news that the government has now introduced into Parliament the proposed legislation to implement The Veterinary Medicines Regulations 2024.
We look forward to this vital piece of legislation being adopted. The UK animal health industry needs a robust, up-to-date regulatory system to ensure the authorisation and availability of the veterinary medicines necessary to protect and improve animal health and welfare in the UK.
This not only benefits animals, but also helps to protect human and environmental health while positively contributing to societal sustainability goals.
The next important step in the process is scrutiny in both the House of Lords and the House of Commons and we remain available to put forward the views of the animal health industry on this important piece of legislation. Following scrutiny we hope to see this legislation adopted as soon as possible with the associated benefits this will bring to the regulatory environment for veterinary medicines.
