Question
To ask the Scottish Government whether it plans to make additional resources available to support the NHS Gluten-free Food Service.
Answer
Appropriate resources are in place to support the Gluten-free Food Service which has been delivered by community pharmacies since 2014. There are no plans to change this service which provides patients with a range of staple gluten-free food products without the need to request a prescription from their GP practice.
