Weight Loss Treatment In Primary Care

We are aware of the media reporting that Mounjaro weight loss treatment is available for prescribing by GPs from 23 June 2025. West Yorkshire ICB, like many other ICBs in England, have yet to announce how the rollout of Mounjaro is going to be managed in our area. Because of this, we are unable to prescribe Mounjaro at this time, and we are yet to know the timeframe of when we will be able to commence this, or whether it will be provided by an alternative community service.

Once rollout commences, NHS England state the first eligible cohort will be patients with a body mass index (BMI) over 40, and four other qualifying medical conditions. Whilst we understand the anticipation, please await further guidance and do not contact us for Mounjaro yet, as we do not have any further info at this time.

Thank you
