UK MPs urge wider NHS access to weight-loss jabs like Mounjaro

The UK Health Committee called NHS plans to give 220,000 people weight-loss jabs on prescription by 2028 'woefully small' and 'unambitious', covering only about 6% of eligible patients. More than a million people already pay privately for Mounjaro or Wegovy, creating a two-tier system, MPs said. Treating all 2.8 million eligible people would cost £15.2bn over five years.
