Dear
Thank you for your information request made on behalf of Robert, Tan and Gao HK Limited (“RTG”), dated 25th August, where you asked for copies of correspondence, and documentation in the possession, of the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency in relation to Core Test Kits (otherwise referred to as Core Covid-19 IgM/IgG Ab Test One Step Test Kits). I can confirm that we do not hold the information that you have requested.
Furthermore, the request stated ‘It is understood that these were tested by MHRA in late May 2020,’ I would like to clarify that it’s not within MHRA remit to conduct any testing.
You may wish to contact Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) as they may be able to provide the information you requested.
If you have any queries, please reply to this email.
Yours sincerely,
MHRA Customer Service Centre
