Restrictions to prescriptions - good outcome

I visited my GP yesterday and we chatted about restrictions in Medway/SE Coast. I sent him a letter a couple of weeks ago responding to the PCT's letter and also sent in a couple of loaves from the new list for them to try - we were left with a choice of five breads, no rolls, as we can't eat Codex Wheat. This GP is not happy that GF foods are being restricted so much in the South East, and so the practice decision has been to continue allowing us the same items as before. He even forwarded my letter to the PCT, but they wouldn't accept it as it wasn't specifically addressed to them!! He has called for a meeting of the Local Medical Council in Medway to discuss the restrictions.
I am so grateful that my GP has agreed to continue prescribing - I appreciate that others have not been so fortunate. I know our position may not last, as there are other GPs in the practice who do not feel the same as the one I saw. If you feel able
