[Question] does anyone have a straight answer on BMI thresholds by ICB
Genuine question, and the title is the question: does anyone have a straight answer on BMI thresholds by ICB.
The scheme cap in Ireland was the single most useful thing I learned in a year of reading this board.
Switched pharmacies mid-titration and had to restart the ladder because the concentrations did not line up.
Read the MHRA notice rather than the news coverage and the actual scope was much narrower than the panic threads suggested.
Ask me anything specific. Anything general I will probably get wrong.

The two routes, described separately, because mixing them is where most of the confusion here starts.
The NHS route in England runs through specialist weight management services commissioned by your ICB. Criteria, waiting times and what happens at discharge are all local decisions, which is why a confident answer from somebody in a different area may be wrong for you.
The private route is an independent transaction: a consultation, a prescription and a pharmacy price. It does not affect your position on any NHS list and it is not a shortcut through one. Both are legitimate; they are simply not the same pathway and they do not connect.
Discharged at goal back to the GP, who would not continue it. Nobody had mentioned that this was how it ends.
Not convinced — the US threads are a different system entirely and importing their advice here does real harm.
