Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, for what reason nutrition is not included in Sickle Cell health care protocols.
This question was answered on 15th December 2022
There is little evidence in support of any specific nutritional intervention that ameliorates Sickle Cell symptoms. It is recommended that generic good nutritional advice is given to all patients with Sickle Cell Disease, including vitamin D supplementation.
