Ceisteanna ar Reachtaíocht a Gealladh - Questions on Promised Legislation
Dail Éireann — 2021-11-10
============================================================

Gino Kenny (PBP), Dublin Mid-West

I want to raise an issue that I and other Deputies have raised countless times, namely access to medicinal cannabis. Many families and campaigners would have been joyous during the summer when the medicinal cannabis programme was to commence. Sadly I learned in a parliamentary question response today that not one patient has been given access to the programme thus far. That is a huge disappointment to the families that this treatment could provide life changing benefit to. What does the Taoiseach say to families who feel let down by the programme, who have to look at other treatments and who will probably get no treatment?
