THE Queensland Government
has announced that it is framing
new legislation that will give
more patients access to medicinal
cannabis.
Titled the dedicated Public Health
(Medicinal Cannabis) Bill 2016, it
will create a formal process for
doctors to prescribe medicinal
cannabis for their patient’s
treatment, but approval from the

Australian supplied products,
doctors will be able to prescribe.

public consultation.The above article was sent to subscribers in Pharmacy Daily's issue from 04 Mar 16 To see the full newsletter, see the embedded issue below or CLICK HERE to download Pharmacy Daily from 04 Mar 16
