I have just received a letter from the South East Coast PCT stating that it will no longer be possible to get prescriptions for anything other than Long Life Gluten Free Bread and Flour.
Has anyone else received such a letter?

I have also received this letter, and i have been told by coeliac uk that the south east in the only PCT in the country to be restricting the prescription so strictly. I was advised to contact my local MP, which I have done.

Hi Jill
The letter is from South East Coast PCT Alliance Regional Commissioning Board and applies to patients in Kent, Sussex & Surrey.
I have emailed them, my local MP & Coeliac UK.
You can view the letter on their website.

Click on Gluten Free Supplies. This is seriously worrying - the list is very small. None of the breads/rolls we use are on that list.
I have emailed the link to Coeliac UK.
