I seek to establish the reasons why a cannabis-based medication, the drug Sativex, is not yet available to persons in this State who suffer from multiple sclerosis. This is despite the fact that a former Minister of State with responsibility for primary care, Deputy Alex White, signed a statutory instrument legalising its use as far back as July 2014. What are the obstacles to its introduction? Can we expect to see progress concerning its availability for those for whom it may make a significant difference?
