Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health, whether staple gluten-free foods will continue to be available on prescription for people with coeliac disease.
A report has been prepared on the responses to the consultation on the availability of gluten free foods on prescription, which will be published alongside the Government’s decision in due course.
