Lords question: government weighing its review of private online prescribing of weight-loss drugs
Health minister Baroness Merron told peers the government is considering responses to its call for evidence on the safety of private and online prescribing. She said funding covers around 220,000 people in greatest need getting Mounjaro on the NHS by the end of 2027-28, and that NICE will review its Mounjaro recommendations in late 2027.
