Unlicensed Medicines

EDM number 6 in 1998-99, proposed by Paul Flynn on 24/11/1998.

That this House notes the widespread use of unlicensed medicines on children; recalls that the British Medical Journal reported in January that 36 per cent. of children in 707 hospital admissions received drugs prescribed in either an unlicensed or off label manner; and concludes that the proposal by the House of Lords to prescribe natural cannabis to adult patients as an unlicensed medicine is consistent with the current practice used in millions of prescriptions.

This motion has been signed by a total of 20 MPs.
