<p>We have made no assessment of the potential merits of assisting primary healthcare
professionals to carry out clinical audits for coeliac disease, or the effectiveness
of dietetic-led services across the country for people with coeliac disease. It is
the responsibility of integrated care boards (ICBs) to make available appropriate
provision to meet the health and care needs of their local population, including the
diagnosis and ongoing management of coeliac disease.</p><p>In making commissioning
decisions, we would expect ICBs to consider relevant guidance, including the National
Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) guideline on the recognition, assessment,
and management of coeliac disease [NG20]. This guidance is available at the following
link:</p><p><a href="https://www.nice.org.uk/guidance/ng20" target="_blank">https://www.nice.org.uk/guidance/ng20</a></p><p>Whilst
there are no current plans to instigate a public awareness campaign around coeliac
disease, to help raise awareness, NICE promotes its guidance on coeliac disease, which
includes information for the public via its website, newsletters, and other media.</p><p>Information
for the public on coeliac disease is also published by the National Health Service
and is available on the NHS.UK website.</p>
