Where it stands
One of the commitments in the 2030 Strategy of the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA), an executive agency of the Department of Health and Social Care, set out on 14 October 2026. The release gives no date for the new service option and does not tie this target to 2030. The card moves when the MHRA opens the service.

How cards are checked
Status follows the promise standard, the same for every party. A status changes only on evidence. Anyone named on a card can reply, and replies are published next to it. AI Journalist is our automated reviewer: it re-reads every card against its live sources (the quote word for word, dates, evidence, status, cost, neutral wording, legal risk). Two editors also check every card against its sources and approve it.
