What is the Welsh Government doing to improve access to pancreatic enzyme replacement therapy for people with cystic fibrosis?

Answered by Cabinet Secretary for Health and Social Care | Answered on 13/02/2025

Maintaining the continuity of supply of medicines to the UK is a reserved matter and is the responsibility of the UK Government.

To provide the public with timely advice about medicines shortages, a new page on the Welsh Government website has been created: Medicines shortages | GOV.WALES.

Specific information about the shortage of pancreatic enzyme replacement therapies is available at: https://www.gov.wales/pancreatic-enzyme-replacement-therapy-pert-medicines.
