Subsidise privately prescribed weight loss medications for people who cannot access them through the NHS, to help reduce long-term obesity-related health issues. We think this could promote fair access and reduce health inequalities.

Fund free access to weight loss meds for disabled people & lipoedema sufferers
We want the government to fund more weight loss medication on the NHS for those with limited mobility, disabled or those suffering with lipoedema. Those with lipoedema know that diet and exercise cannot cure it. However, weight management can help manage symptoms.
Subsidise cost of private therapy for those on NHS mental health waiting lists
As highlighted by some UK charities/organisations, the mental health system is facing severe challenges. Some specialist services via the NHS have waiting times of 6 months and more. This is far too long to wait for those in a crisis.
Provide funding to partially cover costs of private healthcare
Provide funding for any NHS patients to access private treatments for procedures that the NHS typically covers, covering the costs equivalent to what the NHS would normally pay if the treatment were conducted through the NHS. Patients would then only need to cover the difference in cost.
