Speaking in the House of Lords on 21 July 2025

Debate

Weight Loss Medication

Contribution

I am delighted to hear the intervention from the other Benches. This is something to be welcomed. Obesity is complex. I would not like to stand here and put it down to one cause. There are multiple causes, as we heard earlier, around mental health and so many other issues. Everything needs to be on the table. It is a serious issue, costing this country, and other countries around the world, dearly. We need to look at every possible outcome.
