THE NHS has been handing out up to 200 “fat jabs” an hour.
Demand for the drug Mounjaro - sometimes used for weight loss - has soared since it was made available on prescription last June.
Health service doctors signed off on more than 147,000 jabs in May - compared to 18,501 the year before.
And it could rise again, with even more people turning to the NHS as private clinics hike prices.
