Administrative / biographical background

The Committee on the Review of Medicines, constituted under Section 4 of the Medicines Act 1968, was established during 1975 by the Medicines (Committee on the Review of Medicines) Order 1975 (SI No.1006). Its terms of reference were to consider and give advice with respect to the safety, quality and efficacy, in relation to human use, of medicines, as part of a review of medicines which were already in existence and had product licenses granted when the Act came into force.

The inaugural meeting was held on 28 October 1975. The Medicines (Committee on the Review of Medicines) (Revocation) Order 1992 came into force on 1 April 1992 and the committee, having completed its review, was wound up.
