In September, we asked the CF community to share their experience of the ongoing difficulties accessing Creon by taking part in our survey. Today we’re publishing the findings and want to say a huge thank you to everyone who took the time to take part. (1/6)
Quote from David Ramsden, Chief Executive of Cystic Fibrosis Trust, “Our survey shows that the shortage of pancreatic enzymes is having a serious impact on the physical and mental health of people with CF. It’s been a year since these latest supply issues started and concrete, long term solutions are urgently needed – including for the government to establish a medicines shortages taskforce.”
