Pilot scheme will not come to an 'abrupt end' says DHSC
More than 17,000 prescriptions for medicinal cannabis have been dispensed, for more than 380 patients, since the start of an on-Island trial.
Patients with a private prescription - for cannabis-based products for medicinal use - have been able to get their items through Karsons Pharmacy in Onchan since December last year.
As the 12-month pilot scheme nears its end, the health and social care minister was asked for an update in Tynwald this week.
Lawrie Hooper says his department has started a review into the future of the service:
New CRHS and sports complex could cost around £62 million
Increase in penalty notices for parking on pavements
Suspended sentence for doorman who punched woman
Charities mark Mental Health Awareness Week
Manx Wildlife Trust officially opens new nature reserve
Emergency services respond to structure fire in Castletown
