The U.K. Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency said it is currently unable to send and receive emails because of the global Microsoft outage. The agency disclosed the disruption in a statement, attributing the email problems directly to the widespread Microsoft service failure. The MHRA is the country's regulator for medicines, medical devices and blood products, so the email disruption could delay correspondence with drugmakers, trial sponsors and other stakeholders. The outage adds to a growing list of government and corporate functions affected by the Microsoft incident. What to watch next: whether the MHRA restores email service and whether the disruption delays regulatory submissions, approvals or safety communications.
