Weight loss jabs are the ‘talk of the House of Commons tea rooms’, says Streeting

Weight loss jabs are the “talk of the House of Commons tea rooms” and “half my colleagues are on them”, Wes Streeting has said.

The health secretary said the jabs should be available according to need, not the ability to pay, and he planned to get them into the hands of those who need them most.

At the moment, people with a body mass index (BMI) of 35 or more, or 30 but with a linked health condition, can be prescribed jabs on the NHS through specialist weight-management services.

Other people are paying hundreds of pounds a month to get the jabs privately.

Streeting told LBC radio: “Weight-loss jabs are the talk of the House of Commons, half my colleagues are on them and are judging the rest of us saying ‘you lot should be on them’.

“And the thing is, if you can afford these weight loss jabs, which can be over 200 quid a month, well that’s all right for you.

“But most people in this country haven’t got spared two and a half grand a year and often the people who have the worst and most challenging obesity also have the lowest income.”
