Today, End Our Pain families are calling on @andyburnham to support our urgent appeal for Government intervention to protect the supply of medicinal cannabis oils for children and adults with severe, treatment-resistant epilepsy.
After eight years of fighting for access and overcoming repeated supply difficulties, we have secured a UK manufacturing solution. However, developments in the Netherlands now threaten the continued supply of the essential raw materials needed to produce these medicines.
For children whose seizures have finally been brought under control, another interruption could have devastating consequences.
We urgently need the UK Government to engage with the Dutch Government to protect continuity of treatment before another avoidable crisis occurs.
