MPs: NHS Mounjaro plan leans too hard on GP and nurse appointments
Nursing Times picks out the workload side of the Health and Social Care Committee report: a tirzepatide patient currently needs around 21 GP, four practice nurse and one healthcare assistant appointment a year. MPs called this model clinically intensive and slow, reaching only about 6% of the 2.8 million eligible, and urged NHS England to reassess it.
