Medical cannabis prescriptions can help reduce seizures in youngsters.
Children with severe epilepsy are at risk of losing access to potentially life-saving medical cannabis at the end of the Brexit transition period on 31 December 2020.
Campaigners say that some 40 severely epileptic children and their families may no longer be able to obtain medication they are “completely reliant on” after the Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) told UK importers, clinics and several patient groups that UK prescriptions cannot be lawfully dispensed in the EU starting 1 January 2021.
