Support for patients

We understand that stopping gluten-free prescriptions may affect some people’s food budgets and require adjustments to your diet. To help you through this change, the ICB has put in place the following support:

• Prescriptions will continue until 1st May 2026. This allows time for patients to adjust.
• Patients affected by this change will be contacted before 1st May 2026 which will include information and resources to help patients follow a gluten-free diet safely.
• Patients with complex dietary needs can be referred to dietician services for additional support.

Below are some useful resources and links to help you maintain a gluten-free diet. All retailers listed sell gluten-free foods directly and do not require an NHS prescription.
