Health Secretary's Plan To Offer Weight Loss Jab To The Obese Torn Apart By GP

Health secretary Wes Streeting wants to introduce weight loss injections.

Wes Streeting’s new plan to give obese patients weight loss injections so they can return to work was torn apart by a doctor this morning.

This new medication – part of a £279m investment from the world’s largest pharmaceutical company Lilly – is to be tested in the first real-world trial of the drugs’ impact on “worklessness”.

The health secretary claims this drug will stop obesity burdening the NHS and holding back the economy.
