Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, whether he is taking steps to establish a domestic supply of Bedrocan oil for children suffering with severe epilepsy.

Domestic manufacture of Bedrolite oil has now been established. The Dutch Government has agreed to allow continued supply of Bedrocan oils against United Kingdom prescriptions until 1 July 2022 to allow domestic manufacture of Bedrocan oils used by patients in the UK to be established. The Department continues to work with the Dutch Government, the Home Office and the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency to ensure the uninterrupted supply of Bedrocan oils beyond this period.
