after a woman got in touch through the Your Voice, Your BBC News initiative saying it was impossible for her husband, who has pancreatic cancer, to digest his food without Creon.That month, leading pancreatic clinicians and charities wrote to the prime minister, saying the absence of Pert can have a "devastating impact on people's lives".

They called for a national strategy to tackle the shortage.Alice from Birmingham was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in 2023 and initially got 15 boxes of Creon capsules every month to help her tolerate chemotherapy.She can now get only six or seven and is having to skip snacks.

The 64-year-old said the shortage had profoundly affected her mental health.She told the BBC: "Each day I'm trying to balance: what shall I eat, shall I have a more substantial meal, shall I take my supplements and that creates an extra layer of stress and worry whilst I'm trying to put my life together again after having this diagnosis."

Alfie Bailey-Bearfield of Pancreatic Cancer UK said the charity had been raising concerns with the government and suppliers for more than a year and it was vital that officials intervened to try to boost supply.
