We are expecting lots of enquiries about Mounjaro for weight management due to the recent coverage that NHS England have authorised its use in some cases.
However, Greater Manchester ICB (NHS commissioning body) has not yet finalised local services and systems to allow it to be prescribed within Greater Manchester. Information can be found on the link below and contains the specific Statement:
Tirzepatide (Mounjaro) is not currently available anywhere in Greater Manchester, including GP practices, hospitals, or specialist weight management services.
Please do not contact your GP to request it — you’ll be contacted directly if you’re eligible when the service becomes available in your area.
We expect pilot services may begin in some areas in summer 2025, with wider rollout taking more time.
