DRAVET SYNDROME — CANNABIDIOL TRIAL
768. Mr M. McGOWAN to the Minister for Health:
My supplementary question is: when
the New South Wales trials start, will the minister fund and coordinate Western
Australian patients, such as AmaliaXXX ###XXXs
daughter, being able to participate in those trials in the same way as the
Victorian and Queensland governments have done?

AnswerView source ↗

There is no requirement for this
state to fund. They are able to participate when the trials start. They do not
need money to do it; all they need is the product. I will do everything I can
to ensure that they get access to the product, but I do not need any money to
do it. They could do it right now if it was available.
