WEIGHT LOSS INJECTIONS

GPs can only prescribe weight loss injections (such as Mounjaro) once a full wraparound support service is in place locally. This includes a reduced calorie diet and increased physical activity programme which patients must engage with for at least 9 months. We are currently waiting for this service to be put in place by the South Yorkshire Integrated Care Board (commissioners of NHS services) meaning we remain unable to prescribe weight loss injections at this current time.
