MHRA publishes September 2026 performance data
MHRA added September 2026 performance data to its publication page on 27 October 2026, covering agency KPIs and expected regulatory processing timelines.
What Changed
The UK Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) announced the publication of its September 2026 performance data on 27 October 2026. Its “MHRA Performance Data” transparency page brings together key performance indicators and information about the expected time needed to complete specific regulatory functions.
Who Is Affected
The publication is an information resource for stakeholders using MHRA regulatory services and monitoring processing timelines. The publication page’s description does not identify which indicators specifically concern medical-device activities. The announcement should therefore not be treated as confirmation of a particular processing time for device submissions.
Regulatory and Technical Implications
MHRA links predictable, high-quality services to its Strategy to 2030 and says its performance indicators will continue to support transparency and clarity. The announcement does not introduce a new regulatory obligation or technical conformity requirement. Because the page description contains no numerical results, it does not establish whether performance improved or declined in September.
Manufacturer Actions
Manufacturers using MHRA processing timelines for planning can consult the official performance document to check the scope and indicators for the relevant regulatory function. Expected timelines should not be interpreted as guaranteed completion dates for individual applications. The publication announcement identifies no new submission or compliance deadline for manufacturers.
Confirmed Dates
The performance data page was first published on 27 March 2025. Its publication history records July 2026 data on 27 August 2026, August 2026 data on 23 September 2026 and September 2026 data on 27 October 2026. The latest date identifies the publication announcement, rather than the reporting month.
