Alfie Dingley's mum: Matt Hancock 'should hang his head in shame'


Listen Later

Hannah Deacon petitioned the government for her son – who suffers from a rare, debilitating form of epilepsy – to be given cannabis on the NHS. In 2018 Alfie Dingley made headlines when the pioneering prescription was granted. Hannah talks very movingly about the difference cannabis has made to her son’s quality of life. He went from having regular, terrifying seizures to living with a condition that is now far more manageable. But for thousands of other children who could also benefit from medical cannabis, it is a very different story.Visit the Alfie's Hope Facebook page to see more about Hannah's campaign.You can find out more about Hannah’s work with Professor Mike Barnes to increase awareness of medical cannabis at mapletreeconsultants.co.uk.
