Funding of CBD

Bruce Van Essen made this Official Information request to Accident Compensation Corporation

This request has an unknown status. We're waiting for Bruce Van Essen to read a recent response and update the status.

From: Bruce Van Essen

Dear Accident Compensation Corporation,

On 20 May 2024 ACC responded to a request for funding of CBD products. The questions that were asked in this request was

"I understand from GOV-029326 that “28 claims have received payment for cannabis related products in
2023.”
Obviously without revealing patient identities, can you advise what products were approved and for
what medical conditions?"

Data for this request was run by ACC on the 2 May 2024 and it was stated that if rerun again that it may differ.

My request is that ACC rerun a data extraction for the above questions with updated data to be provided from the original request date in 2024 to the current date.

Yours faithfully,

Bruce Van Essen
