the british government has signed an agreement with the world's largest pharmaceutical company to fund a trial which could tackle obesity and help people get back into work. the scheme will see unemployed people living with obesity given a new weight loss jab. let's speak to katharine jenner, director at obesity healthy alliance and fellow at the royal society for public health. welcome to the programme. what is your headline thought about this initiative? it’s is your headline thought about this initiative?— this initiative? it's great to see funding _ this initiative? it's great to see funding going - this initiative? it's great to see funding going into - this initiative? it's great to see funding going into the | see funding going into the treatment of obesity. it's been a neglected area. the slightly strange way of going about it. normally nhs and most people would agree that drugs and treatment should go to those with the highest clinical need and that is paramount of everything else on top of things like need to getting back to work. there is currently not enough drugs to go around and not in the wraparound care for people. we all know that obesity keeps a

lot of people out of the workplace. is it problematic in principle to link health policies to the economy was simply a reality of something we need to address? it is simply a reality of something we need to address? it is the reali . we need to address? it is the reality- sir — we need to address? it is the reality. sir keir _ we need to address? it is the reality. sir keir starmer - we need to address? it is the reality. sir keir starmer said | reality. sir keir starmer said earlier it was going to be a necessity for health and economy to get people back into the workplace and drugs could be a way of doing that. and he is absolutely right. an activity caused by overweight and obesity is a severe problem so we know that some of the associated conditions like type two diabetes, various cancers and back pain is keeping people out of work but even sell the drugs have been through trials and tested by the national institute of clinical excellence say they should be given to those that need them most, those with a high bmi and other conditions. so linking the two together here and i can see where they are coming from but again we just need to make sure the right people are receiving treatment. tell me

more about _ receiving treatment. tell me more about your _ receiving treatment. tell me i more about your reservations. i understand what you are saying about the need to tackle this but in terms of basic reservations, if you do have concerns?— concerns? there are lots of different — concerns? there are lots of different elements. - concerns? there are lots of. different elements. different parts of society suffer the effects of obesity and equally. quite often those in more deprived areas are more likely to have obesity because the healthy food is not available or affordable. and the circumstances mean it's harder for them to be healthy. what we should be trying to do is focus on those root causes to try and improve those. the drugs have been tested and they can be given short—term at the moment and as soon as you come off the drugs for weight regain will happen again if that underlying root cause has not been addressed. so we need to obviously treat people that need it most, notjust people needing to go back into the workplace, but we need to address the underlying root causes as well.—

address the underlying root causes as well. which means thin . s causes as well. which means things like — causes as well. which means things like the _ causes as well. which means things like the food - causes as well. which means things like the food industry, the drinks industry and all of those areas. there is clearly, if this works, a benefit for the economy. what do you think is likely to be the cost of this? ~ ., is likely to be the cost of this? ~ . , , this? we have seen very high cost associated, _ this? we have seen very high cost associated, facing - this? we have seen very high cost associated, facing up - this? we have seen very high cost associated, facing up to | cost associated, facing up to us and we need £150 to £200 a month of treatment. we are looking at about 4 million people needing treatment at the moment. so clearly they're going to have to face the roll—out. what was mentioned this morning is that small number of people go into this trial and depending on whether thatis trial and depending on whether that is encourage people back to the workforce or not they may be able to roll it out further. each of the different drugs that have been approved for use as its own set of criteria and its own costs as well. so we really need to see much more and the problem is we don't have a great picture of what is going on in the uk both in terms of notjust pharmaceutical logical drugs but also surgery and metabolic

surgery which can be really effective and also the weight management services. that all needs to be taken into account. for instance needs to be t
