What assessment has the Welsh Government undertaken of the published guidelines and recommendations within the UK for the permitted prescription of medicinal cannabis and will the Welsh Government be issuing its own guidelines for the prescription of medicinal cannabis in Wales?

Answered by Minister for Health and Social Services | Answered on 19/12/2018

As the guidelines were developed and issued by professional bodies with considerable expertise in this area, such as the British Paediatric Neurology Association and the Association of British Neurologists, no assessment has been undertaken. We do not intend to issue any separate guidelines. The guidance has been endorsed by the Chief Medical Officer of each UK nation.
