non-cancer related lower gastrointestinal symptoms that include the use of faecal calprotectin tests?
If so, I would appreciate if you are able to share any details you may have.
If it is not possible to provide this information, due to exceeding the cost of compliance limits, I would be grateful if you could advise how this request could be refined.
