The government is looking to partner with an on-Island community pharmacy to provide medicinal cannabis products.

The Department of Health and Social Care is looking for a pharmacy to operate a pilot scheme for a minimum of 12 months, to import and dispense products and help collect data to shape future services.

It means those with private prescriptions for medicinal cannabis products can access them on Island.

Pharmacies interested in providing this service are asked to submit an application through the government website before April 20.
