Explanatory note

These Regulations amend regulation 4 of the Medicines (Renewal Applications for Licences and Certificates) Regulations 1974 which makes provision for the particulars which are to be contained in or to accompany an application for the renewal of a licence under section 24 of the Medicines Act 1968 or, as the case may be, of a certificate under section 38 of that Act. The Regulations extend the category of particulars which, with the consent of the licensing authority, may be omitted from a renewal application.
