Speaking in the House of Lords on 21 July 2025

Debate

Weight Loss Medication

Contribution

I completely concur with the noble Lord’s last comments. Issues around weight and food choices are exceptionally complex, but the impact on emotional health is enormous. We have to work with the systems and the life sciences sector to make sure that we do proper longitudinal studies that can help NICE in its decision-making process. I cannot comment on NICE’s procedures around this, but it is regarded as an absolute priority by everyone involved.
