Following on from the previous post about the liberalisation of prostitution, here’s another piece of unexpected sensible news.
The NHS in Wales will be the first in the UK to fund a cannabis-based medicine for people with multiple sclerosis. The drug in question is Sativex which has been on the market for some time.
Bravo for them as this is in line with current medical research, but directly contrary to the the recent draft NICE clinical guideline which rejected the drug for use on the NHS in Wales and England based, apparently, on a flawed assessment of its cost effectiveness.
You see, by chipping away, entrenched attitudes can be changed.
