In mid and south Essex, weight loss injections e.g. Mounjaro, Wegovy are only available through the specialist Tier 3 weight management service and are prioritised for patients with the highest clinical need. 

If you're currently paying for weight loss injections privately and would like to access them through the NHS, please be aware that you must meet the local NHS eligibility criteria at the time you are referred to the Tier 3 weight management service.

Please note that acceptance onto the Tier 3 weight management service does not guarantee access to the medication, as it may not be clinically suitable for everyone on the programme. In addition, access to the drug on the NHS must also be accompanied by wraparound dietary and physical activity support.

If you are currently paying privately for weight loss injections and now wish to stop or taper off the drug, please speak with your private provider.

Visit the NHS Mid and South Essex website for further information about access to Mounjaro,, as well as details of wider weight management support services..
