As your constituent, I’m asking you to please share the End Our Pain UK Parliament petition with your constituents and support calls for the Health Minister to fund the observational trial pathway for families affected by the lack of NHS access to medical cannabis: https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/764594 More than seven years after the law changed, many children and adults with severe treatment-resistant conditions are still unable to access cannabis-based medicines through the NHS. Families often refer to those affected as the “Forgotten Children of 2018”. Many patients have seen life-changing improvements from these treatments, including significant seizure reduction, pain reduction and improved quality of life, yet families are still being forced to fund prescriptions privately at costs of up to £2,500 per month. In 2019, an observational trial pathway for patients already benefiting from treatment was supported and a working group established, but this was never implemented and was later withdrawn during the COVID period without consultation with affected families. Many patients cannot safely participate in traditional randomised controlled trials due to the risks associated with treatment withdrawal. An observational pathway remains the safest and most appropriate route to gather evidence while protecting patient stability. Please support families like ours by: • sharing the petition with your constituents • writing to the Health Minister • supporting calls for the observational trial pathway to finally be funded and implemented Thank you for your time and support. Kind Regards,
