What the petition asks
A number of health conditions depend on a GF diet, food on prescription is no longer available and the GF alternatives are on average 5x more costly than non-GF alternatives. Those diagnosed should not have to be forced into such elevated cost for essential alternatives. Specially the vulnerable.
