Medicinal cannabis offer on the table
Patients in all states and territories could get faster access to medicinal cannabis under a deal to be put to health ministers on Friday.
Federal Health Minister Greg Hunt has already signed up NSW to the process which is expected to make medicinal cannabis available to patients within two days.
However other states, especially Queensland where the wait can be as long as six months, have been harder to convince.
The deal involves a single approval process under the Therapeutic Goods Administration, avoiding duplication with state authorities.
Tasmania and Victoria are understood to be the most interested in taking up the offer.
