From 23 June 2025 weight loss injection treatment (Mounjaro) will be made available for eligible patients in primary care, under the NICE TA1026 guidance and NHS England’s phased rollout.

However, the NHS in Hampshire and the Isle of Wight (the local Integrated Care Board) have stated they will not be in a position to offer this service on prescription until later this year (autumn), in line with other regions where funding constraints and service setup are still being finalised. As such, we are unable to offer any Mounjaro prescriptions using these new criteria until further notice. Unfortunately, we do not have an exact date when it will become available. 

When, in the future, we are able to offer Mounjaro for weight loss on prescription, the full qualifying criteria are as follows:

2. Be enrolled in a structured diet and exercise programme
3. Four or more of the following diagnosed health conditions:
