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.
All GP practices are required to declare the mean earnings (e.g. average pay) for GPs working to deliver NHS services to patients at each practice.
The average pay for GPs working in Ferguson Family Medical Practice in the financial year 2022/23 was £78,322 before tax and national insurance. This is for a full-time GP, two part-time GPs and one locum GP who worked in the practice for more than 6 months.
