          <by role="member" id="3164">The Hon. S.G. WADE:</by>  Further to my undertaking to get information back to the council if I could by the end of question time, I advise the honourable member that as at the end of June 2018 there have been 74 approvals granted by the therapeutic goods authority for use of unregistered medicinal cannabis products in South Australia. Nationally there have been 755 approvals, which on that basis indicates that around 10 per cent of approvals nationally have been to South Australians, which is above our proportion of the national population.</text>
