Important Patient Information - Mounjaro for weight loss 
 
While NICE (National Institute for Health and Care Excellence) have approved the use of Mounjaro on the NHS, this is not available to us in general practice to prescribe at this time.
 
We are waiting further direction from the Humber and North Yorkshire Integrated Care Board (ICB) about next steps. For the most up-to-date information, please visit the Humber and North Yorkshire information / FAQ's 
We kindly ask that you do not book an appointment or contact the practice to request Mounjaro.
 
We appreciate your patience and understanding as we await further clarification from the ICB. Thank you for working with us to ensure safe and appropriate care.
