	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 19/07/2023 answer text <p>Before December 2021, applicants were required to respond to all requests from the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency for further information (also known as ‘grounds for non-acceptance’) within 14 days. However, since December 2021, applicants have had the flexibility to request additional time to respond to requests for further information, as required, by contacting the Clinical Trials Helpline.</p><p>Furthermore, as stated in the Government response to the Consultation on legislative proposals for clinical trials (published 21 March 2023), we will introduce a 60-day timeframe (with flexible extension) to respond to any requests for further information. This flexibility will enable sponsors to prepare robust responses and interact with assessors to satisfy the regulators and avoid application rejections. It is important to note that the 60-day proposal is a maximum timeframe, so the sponsor could respond as quickly as they would like up to this limit.</p> answering member constituency Colchester answering member printed Will Quince question first answered 19/07/2023 09:48:24 answering member 4423 label Biography information for Will Quince
