Wes Streeting: ‘half my colleagues’ in Commons using weight loss drugs | Obesity

Weight loss is “talking about House of Community Tea rooms” and is widely used by deputies, as the Minister of Health undertakes to expand the scope of access to the public to them.
Speak when the government launches a 10 years plan for NHSWes said on the street that access to weight loss should be “dependent on the need, not the ability to pay.”
Currently, people with BMI (BMI) can be described from 35 or more, or 30 or more with a healthy condition NHS Through specialized weight management services.
It is estimated that about 1.5 million people in the United Kingdom are already taking weight loss drugs, which may have been described through specialized weight loss services or have been obtained through special medical prescriptions that cost hundreds of pounds per month.
The street told Radio LBC: “Loss of weight is to talk about the House of Commons; half of my colleagues on them and judge our rest, saying:” You must be a lot. “
“And the thing is, if you can afford the costs of these strikes, which can exceed 200 months, well, this is all suitable for you. But most people in this country do not have a reserve and a half a year, and people who have the worst and most challenge are often the lowest income.”
Streeting said he was bringing the “principle of fairness that supported NHS” to weight loss officers. “It should be available based on the need, not the ability to pay,” he said.
He said Jabs will be part of a set of measures “including people who get more suitable and active and support people in diet and nutrition.” “This is part of a JAB discussion to lose weight sometimes.
