The MHRA was created in 2003. It assumed the responsibilities of the Medicines Control Agency (MCA), created in 1989, and the Medical Devices Agency (MDA), created in 1993. Prior to the creation of the MCA and MDA, the regulation of medicines and medical devices was undertaken by policy divisions in the Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC). When the Agency was created the records collection was split between MHRA and DHSC. The files in this series represent those for which MHRA retained ownership.
