The Dutch Government has confirmed that they will extend the current waiver to allow continued supply of Bedrocan oils against United Kingdom prescriptions for existing patients until 1 April 2022 to allow for domestic production to be established. The Department continues to work closely with the Dutch Government, the Home Office and the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency to ensure continuity of supply of Bedrocan oils beyond this period.
