The mother of a boy with severe epilepsy has welcomed news that medical cannabis imports from the Netherlands can continue for a while longer.
Imports were to stop after Brexit but have been given a six-month reprieve.
Nine-year-old Alfie Dingley, from Warwickshire, would be in danger if he had to use a different product, mum Hannah Deacon had said.
Dutch authorities will allow the continued supply of Bedrocan oil to existing UK patients until 1 July.
