Some of the highlights of each group (based on their reports) are illustrated below: Coeliac Working Group Peter Gillet Chair (previous secretary) – Members Marcus Auth Mark Furman Mary-Anne Morris Maureen Lawson Assad Butt Sleet Huw Jenkins (Bruce McLain, Ronald Bremner, Mark Beattie, Matthew Thorpe, Stephanie France) Although the coeliac working group has been relatively quiet over the last year, they have submitted a response on behalf of BSPGHAN on the Gluten Free (GF) food consultation from NHS England. The outcome is imminent and we will need to think hard as a group and as a society about the response to this - it seems inevitable that there will be a poorer provision for children proposed, although one always hopes it will not happen. From a research point of view, the group has not convened in order to plan for group research but the meeting at Leeds should hopefully kick start some National work. This year sees CUK's 50th anniversary with a planned £5 million research fund and plans for priorities from them for important research. The New Year of 2018 will hopefully see some innovative and collaborative work plans produced. Any interest in the group is very much welcomed and Peter Gillet should be contacted regarding this.
