Hi, Re NHS cut back on Prescritions for coeliacs.I would welcome your views on the following,I used to buy DOVESFARM GLUTEN FREE WHITE BREAD FLOUR (1kg) and make 3 loafs a week.[1] At todays prices (RRP£2.40) but available at ASDA @ £1.79 so 3 loafs a week for year = 78 kilo's x £1.79 =£139.62,Plus yeast = in round figures £200.00.[2] I now get my GLUTAFIN GLUTEN FREE WHITE BREAD FLOUR on prescrition for free (whoopee)>> BUT<< at what cost to NHS,I still make 3 loafs a week so a 500gramm pack advertised @ £9.10 x 156 = £1419.60 (wow) hopefully the NHS get at least a 30% discount but it still makes cost to them app £1000. If the NHS want to cut their costs to me by 50% They could scrap my prescription and give me a voucher for £500.00, job done,everybody's happy. Kind Regards, David.

Kingerley - thanks for your comments. The NHS - like all government departments - is going to have to look for savings in the future, so I guess all aspects should be considered! I'm not sponsored by a gluten free flour firm; I'm just another customer. I do accept adverts on this site, to help cover the costs, but the words are all mine... I'm not sure what you mean by 'much has been omitted', as I haven't deleted anything, (perhaps there was a glitch?) but I'm glad you took the time to add the information again. Do you have a link for the NHS survey for coeliacs? It would be good to get as many people as possible to do the survey. Hi D. Kingerley – thanks for your comments.
