Here’s Charlotte Hughes from The Poor Side of Life:
The government’s approach appears to be more focused on productivity and cutting healthcare costs than on genuinely improving public health.
Previous attempts to incentivise unemployed individuals to lose weight have not been successful, and this proposal appears to assess individuals based on their economic value rather than their overall healthcare needs.

Focusing like this raises concerns about a policy that will prioritise profits over genuine care. This will potentially neglect the health and well-being of individuals who are struggling with obesity.
The involvement of industry leaders in welcoming this initiative highlights a potential conflict of interest. With corporate interests influencing public health decisions, there is a huge concern that the focus may shift away from people’s health and towards profit maximization.
This potential conflict raises important ethical considerations in the context of public health policies.
The concern is clear – that the government is allowing industry to influence it into shoehorning people with potentially-serious health conditions into medication that may not be suitable for them, in order to push them into work that may actively harm them.
