FRANKS: I wanted to move to medicinal cannabis and I get that there
is an overlap here with the TGA and the Office of Drug Control, but my questions on notice—because
I am not expecting you to have them in your notes, although I will be thrilled if you do—just how many
medical practitioners have been able to prescribe, whether they are authorised prescribers, or been
able to prescribe medicinal cannabis products; what the categories of health conditions have been
for that; how many patients in South Australia have been able to access medicinal cannabis; and if
there is any breakdown available into things like whether they have been able to access that because
of palliative care versus other conditions, if that could be provided?
