Patients may be aware that there is a national policy around the availability of weight loss medication to some patients in general practice from 23 June 2025, specifically Mounjaro® as it is commonly known.

GPs in Lancashire and South Cumbria have not yet received confirmation that they will be commissioned to prescribe these medications.

We are awaiting official guidance and commissioning updates and until we receive this confirmation, this medication is NOT currently available from the practice.

We will keep you updated and let you know as soon as this changes, In the meantime, we politely request that patients DO NOT contact the practice about Mounjaro®.

If you wish to discuss it further please contact ICB patient experience team at lscicb-fw.patientexperience@nhs.net
