GB News: 'Another waste of money!' Patient slams NHS drug app plan as a 'burn of money' as taxpayers 'foot the bill'
'Another waste of money!' Patient slams NHS drug app plan as a 'burn of money' as taxpayers 'foot the bill'
Body positivity influencer George Keywood criticized NHS plans to develop digital apps for weight-loss drug management, calling them a "waste of taxpayers' money." While he supports wider access to weight-loss treatments, he expressed concern that the digital approach may lead to unnecessary spending on software and apps.

Health Secretary Wes Streeting defended the expansion of weight-loss jabs, emphasizing that access should be based on clinical need rather than financial means. He highlighted the disparity in affordability for these treatments, which can cost over £200 a month.
