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".

Many farms have started offering weddings, but few can boast their own on-site church.A few miles down the road from Glastonbury, the small village of Godney had a church, built next to Godney Farm.

First class or business? And other dilemmas

As the population of the village fell, it was deconsecrated, so Mr Churches and his wife Jenny decided to buy the building."Yes, plenty of people tell us we have the right name," chuckled Mr Churches.They spent a lot of money restoring the old building, and applied for a licence to hold civil ceremonies.

First class or business? And other dilemmas

Meanwhile, like many farmers, they watched their income from the farm's sheep, cattle and haymaking steadily fall.Mr Churches told me his return on investment from farming is "about 2 or 3%, which is nonsensical for the hours that you're doing".

First class or business? And other dilemmas

He said he could get 10 times as much from weddings, "so it is a far more lucrative business to be in".

Last year, 34 couples tied the knot at Godney Farm, including Paul and Michelle Chorley, from Street in Somerset.Innovative models are already emerging - Kerala state, for instance, is using a "hub-and-spoke approach" to support lower-level facilities in managing serious infections. Coordinated or pooled procurement across hospitals or states could also reduce the cost of newer antibiotics, as seen with cancer drug programs, researchers say.

Without access to the right antibiotics, modern medicine begins to unravel - doctors risk losing the ability to safely perform surgery, treat complications in cancer patients, or manage everyday infections."As an infectious disease doctor, I see appropriate use as one part - but only one part - of access," says Dr Gaffar. "When we get new antibiotics, it's important to save them on one hand - and save them for right patients."

Clearly, the challenge is not just to use antibiotics wisely, but to ensure they reach those who need them most.A drug which has been proven to extend the life of some people with incurable breast cancer has been given to patients on the NHS in Wales for the first time.
