Woman who lost 2st with Mounjaro says it will give NHS patients 'new lease of life'

A woman who lost more than two stone taking weight-loss drug Mounjaro says making it available on the NHS will give people "a new lease of life."

Millie Valentina, 28, started taking the injections - which is also known as Tirzepatide - earlier this year and has gone from a size 16 to a size 12.

She currently pays around £160 a month for the weight-loss drug, but it was announced last week that it will soon be available on the NHS in England.

Millie said: "I think it will definitely benefit people. Obesity in the UK is an epidemic and as a nation we have failed with nutrition.

"Having the option to go onto something like this and it be funded, is an incredible step forward for people.
