Health Minister - 'Taxpayers won't foot the bill for Cannabis on prescription'

The Island's health minister says taxpayers won't foot the bill for cannabis on prescription.

This week in the House of Keys Lawrie Hooper faced a question from Douglas South MHK Claire Christian about the costs of medicinal cannabis to the NHS and those prescribed it.

Mr Hooper explained cannabis isn't a tested medicine and so is only available via a private prescription.

He added those prescribed the drug will have to pay for it, and it's impossible to predict how much it will cost.
