SIR KEIR STARMER has suggested weight-loss jabs could boost the economy by getting people back into work.
On BBC Breakfast yesterday the Prime Minister said that the jabs “will be very helpful to people who want to lose weight, need to lose weight [and] very important for the economy so people can get back into work,” adding that it could reduce pressure on the NHS.
Officials have announced plans to trial the impact of the jabs on worklessness, in which they will examine Mounjaro, a glucagon-like peptide-1 agonist, over five years.
