  • Consultation on the Proposal to Decommission Gluten-Free Prescribing

    Consultation on the Proposal to Decommission Gluten-Free Prescribing

    Consultation on the proposal to decommission Gluten-Free Prescribing Draft Report 1. Introduction 1.1. Following consideration of a proposal to decommission gluten-free prescribing by NHS Blackburn with Darwen and NHS East Lancashire CCGs, it was agreed that this was a change to the service provided to people with coeliac disease (the group most eligible for gluten-free prescriptions). Therefore it was agreed by both CCGs to undertake a formal consultation. 1.2. Following a presentation to and feedback from NHS East Lancashire Patient Partners Board, and feedback from NHS Blackburn with Darwen patient groups, it was agreed to conduct the consultation for a period of 4 weeks, from 17th October to the 11th November 2016. 1.3. The consultation was conducted primarily online, although the option for paper copies of the questionnaire, or the questionnaire in other accessible formats was available by contacting the respective CCG communication and engagement teams. Briefing documents and a frequently asked questions document was made available to support consideration of the survey questionnaire. 1.4. The survey was promoted through social media, traditional media via press releases and online. The survey was heavily promoted to patient participation groups, and membership scheme members as well as the general public. Contact was made with patients with coeliac disease who were members of the respective CCG involvement or membership schemes and as a result of this, contact was also made with the East Lancashire Coeliac Society. 1.5. The promotion of the survey attracted interest nationally from the National Coeliac Society, the British Specialist Nutrition Association, and the British Dietician Association and locally, from MPs (Kate Hollern, Graham Jones and Andrew Stephenson), and East Lancashire Hospitals NHS Trust (Directorate of Digestive Diseases).

    Rt Hon Sajid Javid MP Secretary of State for the Home Department By

    HOUSE OF COMMONS Rt Hon Sajid Javid MP Secretary of State for the Home Department By email April 2019 Dear Home Secretary We write as members representing our Muslim constituents to urge the early release of the very welcome additional funding you have announced for security at places of worship. You will recall the matter was raised in Home Office questions on Monday 1 April. Following the appalling attack in Christchurch last month, we have been speaking to our local mosques, and they are understandably extremely concerned about security, particularly with the approach of the Holy Month of Ramadan, when the community will be highly visible. Many of our constituents will be attending late- night prayers during this month, and feel especially vulnerable when out late in the evening. While the new funding will make a difference, it is therefore imperative that it is released as a matter of urgency, and that application processes are kept as simple and clear as possible, in order that measures can be taken to improve security in good time before Ramadan. We would very much appreciate an early opportunity to meet you to discuss how this could best be facilitated, and look forward to hearing from you in the very near future.
