answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 19/04/2021 answer text <p>In November 2018, the law changed to allow doctors on the General Medical Council’s Specialist Register to prescribe cannabis-based product for medicinal use (CBPMs). Since then, two CBPMs - Sativex and Epidyolex have been made available for prescribing on the National Health Service, where clinically appropriate. This follows clear demonstrated evidence of their safety and clinical and cost effectiveness.</p><p>There remain concerns over the clinical and cost effectiveness of unlicensed cannabis-based products for medicinal use. To help further the evidence base, significant progress has been made to support two randomised controlled trials into early onset and genetic generalised epilepsy and to establish a national patient registry. We are also considering what further action the Government might take to widen access to unlicensed cannabis-based products.</p> answering member constituency Bury St Edmunds answering member printed Jo Churchill question first answered 19/04/2021 16:24:29 answering member 4380 label Biography information for Jo Churchill previous answer version 97221 answering member constituency Bury St Edmunds answering member printed Jo Churchill answering member 4380 label Biography information for Jo Churchill
