Health: Dyspepsia

Question
asked Her Majesty's Government:Whether they have made an assessment of potential changes to the model for dyspepsia/gastro-oesophageal management in primary care to achieve a more efficient use of all drug therapies indicated for dyspepsia.
Answer

We have made no assessment of the potential changes to the model for dyspepsia/gastro-oesophageal management in primary care. It is the responsibility of local health bodies to review their existing practice for the management of people with these conditions to ensure the most efficient use of drug therapies in light of the most recent clinical guidance.
