The mother of a nine-year-old boy with a rare form of epilepsy has warned her son's life is at risk because his medical cannabis can no longer be imported from the Netherlands due to Brexit.
Hannah Deacon said she had only learned of the change in policy less than two weeks before the Brexit transition period came to an end on December 31.
She added she now has just six weeks' supply of the Bedrolite oil which her son, Alfie Dingley, depends on to keep him free of seizures.
Ms Deacon claimed that when she appealed to the Department for Health and Social Care for help, they showed a 'complete lack of understanding' of his condition.
