Question
What is the Welsh Government doing to improve access to pancreatic enzyme replacement therapy for people with cystic fibrosis?
Answer
Answered by Cabinet Secretary for Health and Social Care
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.
