We urge the government to fund vouchers for those who are medically diagnosed with coeliac disease.

People with coeliac disease must follow a strict gluten-free diet for life to avoid serious health risks. Gluten-free foods cost 183% more on average against their gluten containing alternative, placing a burden on those with limited income. We believe that vouchers would promote health equity, ensuring access to necessary food and preventing health risk.

Government response

The Government supports people with coeliac disease through existing NHS gluten-free prescriptions and low-income schemes and has no plans to introduce a new voucher scheme.
