Dear Minister,

We write to you with regards to our review of the Regulations for the Licence Application, Production and Export of Medicinal Cannabis on Jersey and the recently formed Cannabis Services Advisory Board. In an effort to complete and inform our review, we would be grateful if you could provide details on the recently formed board with specific relation to the following:-

We note Nick Morland, the chief executive of Tenacious Labs, is the Chair of the board but could you provide an organisation chart identifying other stakeholders on the board?

Is the Minister for Economic Development, Tourism, Sport and Culture on the board and, if so, does he have a particular role?

Do either of the Ministers for Health and Social Services and the Environment have roles on the board?

Does any officer accountable to any of the above Ministers have any role on the board?

Has the Government of Jersey provided any set up costs for the establishment of the board and if so, could you provide details as to this cost. In addition, could you provide details if there are any ongoing charges for the board which are funded by the Government of Jersey?

Does the board have a Terms of Reference and if so, could the Panel have a copy?

Will the monthly meetings be minuted and if so, will these be in the public domain?

Does the board have a secretary or administrative officer to whom general questions as to administration should be addressed?

If you have any questions with regards to our review or our work in general, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Yours sincerely

Deputy David Johnson
