Mounjaro / Tirzepatide

Posted on:

Although NICE issued guidance in December 2024 that the NHS should provide Mounjaro
(tirzepatide) to patients for weight loss from June 2025, presently it is unknown whether NHS
Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland (NHS LLR) will be arranging for General Practices, Weight
Loss Services, or another service to provide this. The service will not start until at least August.

NHS England has provided funding for a very limited number of patients to be prescribed
tirzepatide (425 in total for this year for the whole of Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland).
NHS LLR has also decided that patients cannot be referred for NHS care to Right to Choose
providers like ‘Oviva.’
