Dr. Lorraine Nolan:

The current provision is exceptional and is really a public interest provision. It is set out in the legislation that if it is the Minister's opinion that it is in the public interest to grant a licence to a prescriber to prescribe, he or she can do so.

The provision is not specific to that. In general, what would be expected is that the applicant, who would be the prescriber, would set out the product required and would clarify the nature of the product, its CBD and THC content, and what level of reassurance of the pharmaceutical quality of that product can be given, given that it is not likely to be an authorised medicine.
