Ilmarie and Alex Braun from Chester are reportedly quite desperate to get help for their three-year-old son Eddie, who suffers from a severe form of childhood epilepsy
UPDATED SEP 14, 2018

A UK couple has accused the government of paying just "lip service" to many families with seriously ill children, especially since their son was denied the right to use medical cannabis oil for his treatment.

Ilmarie and Alex Braun from Chester are reportedly quite desperate to get help for their three-year-old son Eddie, who suffers from a severe form of childhood epilepsy, reports the Daily Mail.

As per reports, Ilmarie and Alex are among the parents who have applied for a license to administer medical cannabis to their sick wards, right after the government set up an expert panel to deal with such cases in June this year.
