UK Health and Social Care Secretary Steve Barclay has expressed optimism about a new potential treatment for obesity called Mounjaro. While further approvals are required before it can be used in the National Health Service (NHS), Barclay believes that Mounjaro has the capacity to assist thousands of individuals dealing with obesity and provide support to those suffering from weight-related illnesses, as long as it is used in conjunction with a healthy diet and regular physical activity. Barclay also emphasized that tackling obesity could have a significant impact on reducing waiting lists and saving the NHS billions of pounds.
