Early day motion tabled by primary sponsor Crispin Blunt (Conservative), on Monday, 3 July 2023, in the House of Commons. It is signed by 16 members in total.
Prescribing of cannabis medicines by general medical practitioners
That this House notes that the Government allowed specialist medical practitioners to be able to prescribe cannabis medicines in 2018, but excluded general medical practitioners, despite their core role in supporting patients in their communities; further notes that, annually, around 20,000 patients obtain private prescriptions for medical cannabis, but just 1,000 have NHS prescriptions and that there are many more who access the illicit market to obtain cannabis for medical reasons; and calls on the Government to take the necessary steps to allow general medical practitioners to have the same medical cannabis prescribing rights as specialist medical practitioners.
