Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

Cannabis for Medicinal Use Regulation Bill 2016: Discussion (Resumed)

9:10 am

Ms Maria Egan:

On Deputy Boyd Barrett's point about what he sees as a lack of expertise specific to cannabis use, the experts who have been asked to contribute to the production of guidance for prescribers, patients and pharmacists have very specific expertise in their specialist areas, which span a breadth of clinical indications. That group will be informing itself on the use of cannabis for the production of those guidelines. It will be a learning exercise for the experts.
