1 Have your say on the future of gluten-free foods on NHS prescription From Monday 9 November 2015 to Friday 11 December 2015 What is this engagement about? We want to hear your views about gluten-free foods and if they should continue to be prescribed by the local NHS for adults and children with a confirmed diagnosis of coeliac disease or dermatitis herpetiformis who require a gluten free diet. Nationally the NHS spends 25milllion on providing gluten-free products on prescription such as bread, flour, pasta and cereal. Across mid-nottinghamshire which covers Mansfield, Ashfield, Newark and Sherwood, the total amount spent each year is 212,000 Food is not provided on prescription for many other patients, such as patients with diabetes, lactose intolerance or those with allergies. Healthy eating principles are important for everyone. We should all eat more fibre, fruit and vegetables and oily fish, and eat less saturated fat, sugar and salt. Potatoes and rice are both gluten free and should be included as part of a healthy balanced diet. Dr Mark Jefford said: Gluten is not essential to people s diets and many basic foods such as meat, vegetables, cheese, potatoes and rice are naturally free from gluten. Many gluten-free alternatives are now widely available in supermarkets and health food shops. Given the ever-growing pressures on NHS services and the NHS budget, we must ensure we get the best value for taxpayers money. We understand the proposals to withdraw or limit gluten-free foods on prescription may have an impact on some patients with coeliac disease and dermatitis herpeformitis. That s why we are keen to hear as many views as possible to help inform our decision. What is coeliac disease? It is a common digestive condition where a person has an adverse reaction to gluten, which is found in wheat, barley and rye. Symptoms range from being mild to severe and can include abdominal pain, diarrhoea, nausea, weight loss, headaches and osteoporosis. There is no cure for coeliac disease, but switching to a gluten-free diet can help and this will help to avoid any long term health problems such as oesteoporosis, anaemia and less commonly infertility, some types of cancer such as bowel cancer. What is dermatitis herpetiformis? Dermatitis herpetiformis (DH) is a skin condition triggered by gluten. It causes an itchy blistering skin rash, usually on elbows, knees and buttocks, but it can affect any part of the body. 1
2 Why are gluten-free products available on the NHS? Over 30 years ago there was limited availability of gluten-free foods in supermarkets, grocers and even restaurants; therefore the decision to include these products on prescription was made. Since then, the availability of gluten-free foods has increased dramatically. Bread is the most popular item on prescription. Price comparisons of supermarkets compared to NHS costs and cost for items containing gluten for a typical year old male are listed below: Product Units prescribed each month Cost to NHS Cost of gluten free food at supermarket Gluten containing equivalent 8 x Bread 400g x Pasta 500g x Breakfast cereal 300g x Pizza bases ( 110g 180g) Total units and monthly cost Who is leading this engagement? It is being led by NHS Mansfield and Ashfield CCG and NHS Newark and Sherwood CCG who are working in partnership across mid-nottinghamshire. These organisations plan and pay for the healthcare services for our communities, ensuring best value for money for our patients. What are the proposed options? With an ageing population and greater demand for services, the NHS must act now to address the financial challenges that lie ahead. We are considering whether to: 1. Stop all prescribing of gluten-free foods. 2. Limit to 8 units of bread and/or flour each month. 3. Continue as now and prescribe staple gluten free foods (non staple foods are no longer prescribed) and continue to follow the Coeliac Society s recommendations for number of units. For example 18 units per month are recommended for a year old male and 14 units per month for a year old female. The table below describes the gluten free items that make up a unit. Prescribable food item Number of units 400g bread 1 250g pasta 1 2 x g pizza bases 1 300g breakfast cereal 1 ½ 2
