answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 27/02/2019 answer text <p>The Department has not made a specific assessment of the links between cannabis use and mental health problems but is aware that there is evidence that people who use cannabis have an increased risk of psychosis, linked to an increase in the concentration of THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) appearing in cannabis available in many countries. In 2017, Public Health England published guidance, ‘Better care for people with co-occurring mental health and alcohol/drug use conditions’ to inform the commissioning and provision of effective care for people with co-occurring mental health and alcohol/drug use conditions. It also has relevance for all other services that have contact with people with co-occurring conditions, including people experiencing mental health crisis.</p> answering member constituency Winchester answering member printed Steve Brine question first answered 27/02/2019 16:20:20 answering member 4067 label Biography information for Steve Brine
