UK health secretary says unemployed people will not be ‘involuntarily jabbed’ to get them back to work
Wes Streeting has denied his plans to give new weight-loss jabs to the unemployed to help them back into work would result in a “dystopian future” where overweight people would be “involuntarily jabbed” if they were jobless.
The UK health secretary acknowledged that weight-loss drugs were not, on their own, the answer to the nation’s obesity crisis after he suggested earlier this week that they could have a “monumental” impact on getting people working.
