Who is eligible?
In the initial phase, NHS England is prioritising access for people with the greatest medical need. This means you must meet all of the following criteria:
- A BMI of 40 or more, and
- At least four diagnosed health conditions linked to obesity from the following list:
- Type 2 diabetes
- High blood pressure (hypertension)
- Cardiovascular disease
- Obstructive sleep apnoea
- High cholesterol or other lipid conditions (dyslipidaemia)
Over time, eligibility may expand, but currently very few people qualify.
What should I do?
- Please don’t contact the GP practice for a prescription at this time – we will contact you if you are eligible.
Thank you for your understanding.
