One in five Britons would use weight-loss drug if free on NHS, poll reveals

Survey also finds one in seven have either taken such jabs themselves or know someone who has

One in five Britons would use a weight-loss drug if it was free on the NHS, according to polling that also shows one in seven have either taken a jab themselves or know someone who has.

But almost one in four people would not tell others if they were using them, suggesting the growing popularity of weight-loss jabs is accompanied by persistent stigma about them.
