Cannabis: Medical Treatments
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, how many NHS prescriptons have been issued for patients to use medical cannabis since 1 November 2018.
- Answer
-
NHS England has set up systems to monitor the prescribing of cannabis-based products for medicinal use via the NHS Business Services Authority and NHS England Controlled Drugs Accountable Officers. We expect the first data to be available by the end of March 2019.
The Department has made no estimate of future demand for medicinal cannabis over the next 12 months.
