With a general election around the corner and 2.83m people off work due to long-term sickness, accessible healthcare for all has never been more important. To achieve this, we’re calling on the next Government to... 1. Acknowledge low-cost health cover as an effective method of tackling in-work sickness and driving the prevention agenda. 2. Reduce excessive tax burdens placed upon health cover products, employers and their employees. 3. Collaborate with the health protection industry to understand and unlock the role it can play in driving a healthier nation.

Writing in City AM today, our CEO Paul Schreier reflects on the figures published last week by the IPPR which found that the hidden cost of sickness to the economy has risen by £30bn since 2018. The vast majority of this – £25bn – is caused by the lower productivity that comes from working while sick.

In today’s world, employee health cover is increasingly important. With 2.8 million people off work due to sickness (ONS 2024), there’s a real need for workers to be able to access healthcare support when they need it. But with 7.75 million people on NHS waiting lists (NHS 2023), 1 in 6 people in the UK are now turning to private healthcare. That’s why employers are increasingly being looked to, to support the health of their workforce. Find out how our Health Plans can help: https://lnkd.in/erFxqJ4X
