Britain should adopt a Dutch-style Office for Medical Cannabis to help hundreds of thousands of patients being denied the drug, according to the mother of the epileptic boy whose case triggered reform of the law.

Charlotte Caldwell says no one else should have to go through the pain her family has suffered as she revealed her son, Billy, 14, has still not received an NHS prescription for his epilepsy drugs nearly 15 months after the law changed.

For the past eight months, Ms Caldwell, 51, has been engaged in a legal battle with the health authorities in Northern Ireland, which have refused to prescribe the cannabis medicine despite the family having the backing of the UK’s top paediatric neurologist.
