The HRB report is very extensive, running to more than 200 pages. It recommends that the programme be expanded, particularly to neuropathic pain for which there is quite good evidence. A tiny number of people - 55 - have got access to medical cannabis over four years. The whole idea of the programme was to give people access rather than people having to go to the black market, which is happening, or doing without. It is really important that this programme expands to include other conditions, particularly neuropathic pain where there is good evidence. The Danish medical cannabis programme includes other conditions, particularly neuropathic pain. When will the clinical review take place? This has been going on forever at this stage.
