Fewer than 800 Scots have received jabs for weight loss on NHS, BBC finds

Fewer than 800 people in Scotland have received National Health Service jabs specifically for weight loss, according to findings by the BBC. The rollout of the treatment remains severely limited across the region, with only five of Scotland's 14 health boards currently offering the medication for this purpose.

The figures highlight a stark postcode lottery in access to modern weight-loss treatments across Scottish health boards. The low overall total and uneven distribution underscore ongoing challenges in the implementation of these specialized pharmaceutical interventions within the public healthcare system.
