Mounjaro guidance for NHS patients

Posted on June 24th, 2025

Following the recent announcement that Mounjaro is going to be available in primary care, we would like to advise patients that we are not able to prescribe this medication at the practice. Cheshire and Merseyside ICB are in the process of developing a service that eligible patients can be referred into. There will be a select group of patients eligible and we will contact those patients to offer this referral when the service has been commissioned. Please do not contact the practice directly about this at this time.

For further guidance from the ICB, please follow this link which is being regularly updated:- https://www.cheshireandmerseyside.nhs.uk/your-health/prescribing/statements/mounjaro-tirzepatide/
