Who Can Get It on the NHS?

NHS England has outlined the eligibility criteriai for receiving Tirzepatide (Mounjaro®). The distribution will occur in phases, prioritising those most in need. In Phase 1, only individuals with serious health conditions will be eligible to receive it on the NHS. This policy is consistent across England.
