GLUTEN-FREE PRESCRIBING
In England, the current annual spend on gluten-free (GF) products is £24.7 million - which is significant.
Given the current challenges facing the NHS, prescribers need to ensure a fair use of resources for all their patients by finding a balance between helping patients afford the higher cost of GF diets and ensuring the fair and effective use of NHS resources.
For this reason, we have decided to limit prescribing of gluten-free foods to staples that are more expensive to buy as a gluten free product in the supermarkets, i.e. bread and flour.
