GLP-1 injections reshape the UK's obesity fight

GLP-1 weight‑loss injections, notably Wegovy and Mounjaro, are transforming obesity treatment in the UK and globally, delivering significant weight loss in trials and real life, but NHS access remains tightly restricted by cost under NICE criteria, prompting concerns about inequality and a growing private market; with more than 50 obesity drugs in trials and new forms like tablets on the horizon, experts expect broader options that could reduce surgery needs while underscoring the importance of addressing underlying causes.

France’s National Rally Bets on Momentum After Mixed Local Elections

France’s far-right National Rally claimed momentum for the 2027 presidential race after a mixed local-vote night, with wins in Nice and several southern towns but failures to capture marquee cities like Marseille, Toulon and Nîmes; leader Jordan Bardella hailed a “biggest breakthrough” and ongoing local implantation, while critics warned that runoff dynamics could still block a national breakthrough, as polls put Bardella ahead in the first round (about 35%) and traditional parties race to unite against the extremes.

NHS adds non-hormonal option for menopausal hot flashes

England's NHS will offer Veoza (fezolinetant) as a non-hormonal treatment for menopausal hot flushes and night sweats when HRT cannot be used; NICE says it’s cost-effective and could help up to 500,000 women. Not recommended for those with breast cancer, other estrogen‑dependent cancers, or liver disease; HRT remains the first-line option. The decision applies in England; Wales and Northern Ireland often follow NICE guidance, while Scotland has not yet recommended NHS use.

The charity Prostate Cancer UK calls for NICE to update its guidance to better reflect recent advances in testing and diagnosis, promoting active surveillance for low-risk cases to prevent harm and reduce the 'postcode lottery' in treatment approaches.

NHS Limits Initial Access to Lilly's Mounjaro for Obesity Treatment

The NHS in England plans to roll out the weight-loss drug Mounjaro, but it may take up to 12 years for full implementation due to concerns about overwhelming healthcare services. The drug, recommended by NICE, will initially be available to those with a BMI over 35 and an obesity-related health issue. The phased rollout aims to prioritize those with the highest clinical need, with an estimated 220,000 people benefiting in the first three years. The decision has sparked disappointment among patient groups due to the lengthy timeline.

UK to Offer Eli Lilly's Mounjaro Weight-Loss Drug on NHS

Britain's medical costs regulator, NICE, has recommended Eli Lilly's weight-loss drug Mounjaro for certain obese patients without a time limit on its use, unlike Novo Nordisk's Wegovy. The draft roadmap suggests Mounjaro for patients with a BMI of at least 35 and one weight-related co-morbidity, with a review if less than 5% weight loss occurs after 6 months. The final decision is expected on October 30 after public comments.
