Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

Cannabis for Medicinal Use Regulation Bill 2016: Discussion

1:30 pm

Dr. Peadar O'Grady:

That is the case in Vera Twomey's case. A doctor has prescribed cannabis but she cannot access it because the Minister is demanding that a consultant not alone prescribes it, but follows it up in detail. That is just not available here. This is Ireland with the HSE. She just cannot get that.
