Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

Medical Cannabis Access Programme Update: Discussion

Mr. Muiris O'Connor:

I will start and will bring in Professor Lynch for clinical reasons along with Dr. Nolan. The Chairman described the process as tortuous and I acknowledge it is. The schemes involve a lot of processes but we really need to take a risk-based approach. The benefits of taking THC in particular need to be higher than the risks. It is really only a clinician who can make that call. I will bring in Professor Lynch.
