Southend and Castle Point & Rochford CCG joint prescribing consultation

Southend and Castle Point & Rochford CCG joint prescribing consultation

March 03, 2016

Southend and Castle Point & Rochford CCG joint prescribing consultation

Southend Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) and Castle Point and Rochford CCG have launched a joint consultation on gluten-free prescribing, tabling an option to remove access to GF food on prescription for people with coeliac disease and they are asking for your view.

Other options being considered include:

continuing to prescribe according to National Prescribing Guidelines
providing some gluten-free food for those who receive free prescriptions
restricting the products available to bread and flour only.

Coeliac UK will be formally responding to the consultation and we have directly contacted Members living within the CCG areas, but we need your help to make sure the needs of local people with coeliac disease are understood.

Have your say

Please get involved and get your voice heard. You can complete the online survey or request a paper copy by calling Castle Point and Rochford CCG (01268 46458) or Southend CCG (01702 314299).
