Minister for Health James Reilly has said his department is examining how “cannabis-based” medicinal products can be prescribed to treat multiple sclerosis.
In response to a Dáil question tabled by Fine Gael Galway West TD Seán Kyne, Dr Reilly confirmed that his department was examining issues associated with its prescription in “controlled” conditions.
Mr Kyne said he had initially raised this issue with Dr Reilly after he had been contacted by constituents with friends and relatives who suffer from multiple sclerosis (MS).
