The Secretary of State for Health and Social Care and the Minister of Health, acting jointly, make the following Order in exercise of the powers conferred by sections 62 and 129(5) of the Medicines Act 1968(1), it appearing to them to be necessary to do so in the interests of safety, and their being of the opinion that it is essential to make the Order with immediate effect to avoid serious danger to health.
The appropriate committee have not considered the proposal to make the Order.
