Skinny Jab Scandal: Dispatches

Dispatches reporter Ellie Flynn investigates Britain's obsession with skinny jabs and asks whether profits are being prioritised over patient safety. Undercover filming exposes the drugs being sold by a major high street chain to an under-age patient; and exposes registered NHS nurses prescribing the jabs without proper checks on patients. With an estimated half a million Britons currently being prescribed these drugs, Ellie talks to experts, who are concerned about the lack of oversight. 'Where there are huge profits to be made, unfortunately,' says one, 'that can lead to cutting of corners'. Ellie asks why there are so many patients living with obesity who are unable to get these jabs on the NHS, and reveals for the first time entire areas of the country where the NHS is not prescribing the drugs.
