I think I flagged this already with the Department of Health. My next question is about an extensive report by the Health Research Board on the future of the medical cannabis access programme. The MCAP is a good concept but only 55 patients have had access to medical cannabis since it was conceived. That is a very small number of people who can get access via prescription. A clinical review is to be done. When will it happen? Does the Department envisage that the programme will expand, as it will according to the report by the HRB? If it does not, I am fearful that it will become almost redundant in terms of people getting access to medical cannabis.
