The mother of Castlederg teenager Billy Caldwell, who successfully campaigned for the legal use of medicinal cannabis oil, says he could have life threatening seizures if his prescription isn't renewed next week. The 13-year-old, who is epileptic, uses privately supplied cannabis oil to reduce the episodes. But he's been unable to get an NHS prescription after the Belfast trust pointed to guidelines issued by the British Paediatric Neurology Association last year, advising against the use of unlicensed cannabis products.
