Weight Loss Jabs and the NHS

The new generation of weight loss drugs is now available on the NHS and Panorama has exclusive access to one of the UK’s top hospitals as it rolls out Wegovy, also known as Ozempic. The BBC’s medical editor Fergus Walsh follows the progress of patients and talks to medical experts about what impact the jabs could have on Britain’s obesity crisis, and whether the NHS can afford to give the drugs to all those who are eligible.
