Patient notice – Tirzepatide (Mounjaro)

We are aware that a message is circulating on local social media suggesting that Tirzepatide (Mounjaro) will be available for weight loss prescriptions from GPs starting 23rd June. As a result, we have received a high volume of enquiries.

Please note that while the guidance refers to ‘primary care’, this does not mean individual GP practices. We have been explicitly advised not to prescribe this medication.

Find out more about Mounjaro (Tirzepatide) access in Cheshire and Merseyside on the ICB website.

Named GP

We assign all new and existing patients with a named accountable GP to oversee their care.

For patients aged 75 and over, the named accountable GP is responsible for:

  • working with health and social care professionals to deliver a care package that meets the needs of the patient
  • ensuring that these patients have access to a health check

Patients can still choose to see any GP in the surgery. We will make reasonable efforts to accommodate their preference.

If you have a preference or want to know who your named GP is, you can contact us for more information.
