Thank you so much to each and every one of you that has signed our petition.

Alfie has just celebrated two years seizure free, this is because he has access to medical cannabis which is funded by the NHS.

It is sad for me to report that currently the Government are not engaging with us on this matter, and have ignored the many thousands of you that have signed this petition.

Today I am asking you to please share the petition with all your friends, colleagues and family. If we can get this petition to 1M signers, we can then present the petition again to Downing Street and to NICE in the hope that they will provide funding for the children with epilepsy who have private prescriptions but also to work with us on a long term solution.

Patients and their families are being left to fund prescriptions at vast sums of money, sometimes up to £2,000.00 a month, and for a legal medicine this is simply wrong.

3 children have access to medical cannabis funded by the NHS, this means it is safe for them, so why ignore all the other children it could help.

Thank you again for sharing and we will update you further when we have news.

Best wishes

Hannah and Alfie. x
