Stephen Donnelly (Wicklow, Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source

I thank the Deputy. It is very clear that there are beneficial effects. We currently have four authorised cannabis products, namely, Epidiolex, with which 184 patients have now been prescribed, Sativex, nabilone and dronabinol. There are 184 patients on Epidiolex and, while I do not have the figures for the others, I know that is the biggest group.

We are taking it very seriously and we have accelerated the process. I cannot provide the names yet as that is still being worked through, but we are getting a chair and we are putting the group together. The Deputy can take it from me that we are progressing this at pace.
