The full day rate for an MHRA GDP inspection is £1936.00
This rate is reduced for wholesalers who only supply GSL (General Sales List) products, or for small wholesaler dealers where wholesaling of licensed products does not exceed 15% or £35,000 of total turnover, but ONLY where the inspector spends less than 3.5 hours onsite.
In circumstances where the inspector finds deviations you will spend more time, and potentially more money, so ensure you are compliant with the Good Distribution Practice requirements.
Your initial GDP inspection is usually followed twelve months later by the next. If you are found to be fully compliant you may not be inspected for up to four years. This reduces the cost to less than £1 a week.
It pays to remain ready for your GDP inspection and ensure that any changes, deviations, deficiencies, etc. are managed in good time.
Failure to manage your business could end up very expensive, especially at almost £2000 a visit by the regulator.
Action from the IAG (Inspection Action Group) can lead to suspension, and loss of reputation and earnings.
