Listen to our Director of Policy, Research and Campaigns discuss Fylde and Wyre CCG consultation on gluten-free prescriptions on BBC Radio Lancashire: 

www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p043pfzj#play 

Fylde and Wyre CCG currently follow National Prescribing Guidelines on amounts and prescribe up to 18 units (depending on age and gender) of gluten-free bread, pasta, flour, breakfast cereals, oats, pizza bases and crackers. However, the CCG is now reviewing their policy on prescribing gluten-free foods. The CCG is asking local people to share their views. 

The consultation is open until 26 August and we would encourage you to respond to the consultation to make sure your voice is heard. The survey can be accessed online at: www.fyldeandwyreccg.nhs.uk/gluten-free/​. If you are unable to complete the survey online, you can request a paper copy by calling (01253 956305), emailing (enquiries@fyldeandwyreccg.nhs.uk) or writing to NHS Fylde and Wyre CCG, Derby Road, Wesham, Lancashire, PR4 3AL.
