• Dear Ms Viner,
  
  FOI REQUEST 06/321
  
  Thank you for your 6 October email. I appreciate that the Agency is involved
  in a wide variety of activities and had attempted to limit my original
  request by specifying only ‘major’ reports. In the light of your query, I
  should now like to modify the original request.
  
  Please will you provide: [a] totals of expenditure by the Agency, in each of
  the years 2003 to 2006, on all significant reports and/or evaluations
  relating to the Agency activities specified below, commissioned by the MHRA;
  and [b] the titles of all such reports/evaluations received, the identity of
  the individual(s) and/or organisations commissioned; and date (or expected
  date) of delivery. I should like to receive this information about reports
  primarily relating to:
  
  ·        the image, or perceptions of, the MHRA (including its committee and
  advisory group functions)
  
  ·        quality of service to customers and relationships with major
  stakeholders (including committees and advisory bodies)
  
  ·        achieving Agency (including its committee and advisory group
  functions) transparency and accountability
  
  ·        the need to promote useful drug innovation and product development
  
  ·        proposed and/or effected regulatory action for established
  medicinal products where the risk-benefit profile has changed significantly
  
  ·        development of Agency (including its committee and advisory group
  functions) work relating to pharmacovigilance
  
  ·        research directly relating to risks and benefits of specific
  products and medicines generally
  
  ·        the MHRA’s role as competent authority for human blood and blood
  components
  
  ·        research relating to provision of drug information to end users of
  medicines;
  
  ·        research relating to patient reporting of suspected adverse drug
  reactions; and
  
  ·        other research directly related to safeguarding public health
  
  
  I hope this seems manageable, but you are welcome to telephone me on 020
  7586 7771 if you would like to discuss this request further.
  
  Sincerely,
  
  Charles Medawar
