The Ministry of Public Health has dismissed a claim by the Rural Doctor Society alleging that its budget to study cannabis next year has been cancelled.
Dr Opas Karnkawinpong, the ministry's permanent secretary, said he has ordered the chief of the provincial public health officials to investigate the source of the unverified information.
Dr Pongkasem Kaimook, the ministry's deputy permanent secretary, will be in charge of the matter.
