13 November 2017

We previously let you know that Vale of York clinical commissioning group (CCG) is proposing to stop the prescribing of gluten free foods and replace this with a means tested top-up VISA card.

The CCG have now confirmed that they have rearranged the face to face drop in session. The event will be held at:
Wednesday 22 November 2017 at 6-7pm, West Offices, Station Rise York, YO1 6GA

Have your say

The consultation period has been extended to 24 November so if you haven’t already, you can still complete the online survey here.

If you would like to request a hard copy of the consultation document please call Vale of York CCG on 01904 555870 or email valeofyork.contactus@nhs.net.

As we previously mentioned, we would also encourage you to write to your local MP, we have a sample letter which you can use, or please feel free to write your own letter explaining how the proposed changes would affect you.

We will provide updates as the local and national situation with gluten free prescribing progresses through direct mailings, Crossed Grain magazine and on our website.
