Cannabis: Medical Treatments
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what his Department's policy is on legalising medicinal cannabis.
Answered by Karin Smyth
Since 1 November 2018, there has been a legal route for cannabis-based products for medicinal use to be prescribed by doctors on the General Medical Council specialist register, in accordance with the Misuse of Drugs Regulations 2001. The Government has no current plans to change this.
