Bedfordshire CCG gluten-free prescribing consultation

Bedfordshire CCG gluten-free prescribing consultation

May 17, 2016

Bedfordshire CCG has launched a consultation and is proposing to completely stop gluten-free prescribing. The CCG currently provides gluten-free food through a pharmacy-led supply scheme and follows National Prescribing Guidelines, allowing up to 18 units (depending on age and gender) of gluten-free bread, pasta, flour, crackers and breakfast cereals per person per month.

We are meeting with the CCG to discuss their proposal in June where we will make the case for gluten-free prescribing.
