Executive Summary
Among the UK Medical Device Agency's key business targets for 1995/96 is a 3% reduction in running costs while maintaining levels of activity. The MDA should also aim to recover 65% of the costs of the Manufacturer's Registration Scheme (compared with a 40% goal in 1994/5) and to release at least 20% of the evaluation programme funds for the NHS. Other targets include improving value for money provided by the evaluation centres by extending the scope of the services provided, handling smoothly the imminent relocation of offices and improving the handling of customer communications.
