Almost nine out of ten people still rely entirely on the National Health Service (NHS). However, with people giving greater priority to health matters and an aging population profile, the NHS would need virtually unlimited funds to cope with the ever-increasing demands on its services.

But even with increased expenditure on the NHS and the help of the private sector, waiting lists are an inescapable fact of life - and a powerful argument in favour of making Private Medical Insurance more widely available to the general public. |
