Ministry Status: Recovery


The ministry is resuming regular operations and supporting health sector stabilization.

Drug Submissions

Drug Submission Policy Directive

The Ontario Guidelines for Drug Submission and Evaluation (the Guidelines) were developed to provide manufacturers with practical information and guidance to facilitate the submission of information to the Ministry. From time to time and as circumstances warrant, the Ministry may amend, clarify or institute new policies, practices or procedures relating to drug submissions and the review process.  The Ministry will notify manufacturers of such clarifications or changes by posting policy directives on the Ministry’s website and by issuing notices from the Ontario Public Drug Programs.

Should there be any inconsistencies or conflicts between the Guidelines and a policy directive, the more recent document will prevail.
