Speaking in the House of Lords on 21 July 2025

Debate

Weight Loss Medication

Contribution

There is no doubt that, when these injections are working alongside other weight management approaches, including education around diet generally as well as exercise, the chances of success on all the issues that the noble Baroness raises are far greater. We need to understand the longer-term impacts of being on these drugs—whether it will be safe for people to be on them for longer. We need to understand the challenges as well as the opportunities. There are opportunities coming forward for other areas of medicine from the use of these drugs.
