Please would you help me by emailing your MP using this link

to ask them to add their name to a cross-party parliamentary letter to the Prime Minister demanding action to help children with severe epilepsy who are still being denied NHS prescriptions for their life transforming medical cannabis. It’s outrageous that these NHS prescriptions are still being blocked two years after we all fought together to get the law changed to make access to medical cannabis legal in the UK.

With help from lots of people, including the likes of you and others who signed my petition, my son Alfie is one of only 3 children to have the benefit of an NHS prescription for the medical cannabis that keeps him well. This leaves dozens of other families having to fund raise up to £2,000 a month for the only medicine that helps keep their child well. I remain committed to help these other families. Fundraising is challenging in normal times, but now Covid-19 has made this all but impossible. 

These families are really suffering both financially and emotionally. They continue to be passed from pillar to post. Please help them by urging your own MP to support our latest call for the Prime Minister to act.

With Love

Hannah and Alfie xx
