THE VETERINARY MEDICINES REGULATIONS 2008 - FORMAL PUBLIC CONSULTATION
CD versions of the documents can be provided, to request a CD please use the contact details below.
This formal consultation package was published on 17 March 2008.
The Veterinary Medicines Regulations (VMR) 2007 came into force on 1 October 2007. It is intended for us to revoke and remake them each year. This provides the opportunity to review and amend any of the provisions that need to be changed and to make any necessary inflationary increase to the fees.
It is intended that the VMR 2008 will come into force on 1 October 2008 and will replace the current Veterinary Medicines Regulations 2007 SI No 2007/2539.
Consultees are invited to consider the amendments and the consultation package includes:
-
The consultation letter which has been sent to interested parties
-
A MS Word version of the response form
-
A clean draft of the amended Regulations
-
A draft of the amended Regulations with tracked changes
-
A partial Impact Assessment for the changes proposed to the legislation
-
A separate partial Impact Assessment for the introduction of the requirement for veterinary surgeons to supply medicines from registered premises, which comes into force on 1 April 2009.
