That seems an absurd waste of money.

It does, and at that price if NICE allows it at all it’s going to be a drug of last resort. I’ve managed to lose 7lbs just this month, admittedly it wasn’t hard because I’ve resorted to slim-fast shakes as a quick fix and in any case, I piled it on on holiday and my normal daily routine and appetite wouldn’t have sustained that weight anyway. But the point is, if you make any changes at all to your diet and routine, you can shed half a stone without too much trouble. Getting the first half stone off is no reason for a fanfare and it certainly isn’t worth £9,000. If this miracle drug has slimmed a fatty from 20st to 10st in 40 months, well then that would be different.
