Chiltern and Aylesbury CCG are to continue to prescribe gluten-free food

Chiltern and Aylesbury Vale Clinical Commissioning Groups’ (CCGs) consultation on gluten-free prescribing ended on 28 September. We’ve now had confirmation that the CCG will prescribe eight units a month from a choice of gluten-free bread, bread rolls, bread mixes, flour and pasta.

Although this new policy moves away from National Prescribing Guidelines, we’re pleased to see that the CCG has listened to the patient voice and has not opted to completely remove gluten-free food on prescription, one of the options considered. We are also pleased to see that pasta is being prescribed alongside other important staples.
