The Government has changed the law to make cannabis for medicinal use legal under prescription.
Source MS Society: The Government has today changed the law to make cannabis for medicinal use legal under prescription.
But it’s likely that nothing will change in the short term for the one in 10 people with MS who could get relief from pain and muscle spasms by using medicinal cannabis.

NICE pauses final decision on ocrelizumab for primary progressive MS
Source MS Trust: NICE has announced that it is pausing the publication of final guidance for ocrelizumab for primary progressive
multiple sclerosis.
The final decision was due to be published on the NICE website on 31 October and would have rejected ocrelizumab as an NHS treatment for primary progressive MS on the grounds of cost-effectiveness.

We welcome this move as it demonstrates a willingness on both sides to engage further in the debate around this drug which could have a substantial impact on the lives of people with primary progressive MS.
