The government is under pressure to review its approach to medical cannabis

The government is under pressure to review its approach to medical cannabis, which is illegal. It comes after Charlotte Caldwell's son Billy, 12, was granted a limited licence for the drug to be administered in hospital for 20 days as anti-seizure medication. Danielle Davies' six year-old daughter, Sophie, has an extreme form of epilepsy and Danielle worries her next attack may kill her. Today political reporter Ross Hawkins discusses whether the law will be changed.
