The new electronic form will help streamline the process for applying for minor variations to prescription medicines. It consolidates the previous six paper forms into a single online portal, reducing time and effort for applicants. The form allows for easy selection of variation types and goods, and generates a submission number upon completion. It is the first step towards a more efficient electronic system for processing minor variation requests. Over 3,800 minor variation applications were received in 2016-2017, demonstrating the need for improvements to reduce regulatory burden. Guidance on using the new e-form will be published, and ongoing enhancements such as notifications are planned.
