Mounjaro injections

You may have heard in the news that Mounjaro (tirzepatide), an injection for weight loss, is available from the NHS.

We have been advised of the following by the Greater Manchester Integraded Care Board, who commission this:

Tirzepatide (Mounjaro) is not currently available anywhere in Greater Manchester, including GP practices, Hosptials or specialist weight management services.

Please do not contact your GP to request this. You will be contacted directly, if you are eligible, when the service becomes available in your area.

We expect pilot services may begin in some areas in Summer 2025, with wider roll out taking more time.
