Thank you to the courageous families and suppliers in being so brave, coming forward. A huge thankyou to my colleagues @Matt_Hughes79 @alicesalisburyj @dr_CallieSeaman for all the hard work put into this. We won't give up on families and our own children's futures.
@MedcanFamily
Our study published today reveals 380+ families forced to the illegal cannabis market to treat their child’s drug-resistant epilepsy. Government Policy has failed these families.
Thank you to @LaylaMoran for recognising the issues, and we look forward to discussing this further

The proportion of patients in England treated/assessed within 4 hours in A & E units has fallen below 70% for the first time.
69.3% in Oct. A record number of patients had to wait more than 12 hours for a hospital bed to be found after a decision to admit – nearly 43,800.
