Details

This form is to request your application for a controlled drugs license be expedited.

It should be completed by front-line healthcare providers or pharmaceutical wholesalers and distributors only.

We will consider requests where there is either:

  • a critical supply issue of a product you handle
  • a clinically imperative service you are directly responsible for delivering

Your request will be rejected if the form is submitted:

  • incomplete (including those submitted without supporting evidence)
  • prematurely – before an application has been made
  • by someone who is not named on the controlled drug licensing application form (unless the responsible person has provided a ‘letter of authority to enquire’ for you to submit with this form)

Fully completed forms and supporting evidence should be emailed to dflu.dom@homeoffice.gov.uk using the subject header in your email: (company name, site postcode, application number - request for expedition).
