Cannabis-based medicine for epilepsy available on NHS from January

Cannabis-based medicine for epilepsy available on NHS from January People with severe epilepsy will be able to access a cannabis-based medicine on the NHS from early next year after it was fast-tracked for use.

NHS England said doctors would be able to prescribe Epidyolex from 6 January.

It will be for children from age two, as well as adults, but some campaigners warn it is "too little too late". BBC News
