The uncertainty and distress this is causing CF patients and their families is heart breaking.

[Chris Riches @ChrisMRiches]

Share on Twitter https://t.co/GR0hl9XR9q There is understandable uncertainty for families at the moment. Let us hope @NICEComms @NHSEngland @VertexPharma can complete their processes and provide permanent positive clarity for families with #cysticfibrosis @cftrust @Daily_Express

[Cystic Fibrosis Guernsey (chair Mike Read) @CFGuernsey]

The thought of having to battle again for proven life changing and extending treatment for CF children is heart wrenching.

A powerful example of how good our political system can be.
- A diverse group of patients came together, engaged with politicians, who listened.
- A requete & debate persuaded HSC to conduct a review.
- Clear evidence, policy letter approved unamended.
- 1000’s of patents benefit

These machines have been an important addition to how we can support CF sufferers at home, giving them the ability to adapt treatment regimes around their lives, and importantly having an immediate impact on breathing.
