'Chronic pain sufferers are furious': Vera Twomey reacts to cannabis access programme

Medicinal cannabis campaigner, Vera Twomey, who secured a licence for the medication for her ill daughter Ava has cautiously welcomed the signing in to law of the access programme.

Ms Twomey, who last year spoke in the House of Commons about the benefits of cannabis in treating conditions such as severe epilepsy, said that she was concerned about the absence of chronic pain sufferers on the conditions list of the programme.
