Press Release Summary = Private Medical Insurance.org.uk finds that the failure of
the NHS is the prime motivating factor in people taking out medical insurance
policies.

Press Release Body = Around six million people in the UK currently protect
themselves with private medical insurance policies. Private Medical Insurance.org.uk
has discovered (via an online survey) that one of the key reasons for the growing
popularity of private health insurance is the failure of the NHS.

The ever lengthening waiting lists, which mean that people are having to wait for
months, and sometimes for years, to receive the medical treatment that they need, is
one of the primary problems with the NHS, and one of the main reasons that people
are turning to private medical insurance.

Indeed the statistics are shocking. In the case of general surgery the shortest
waiting period for an operation is 32 weeks, whilst more than 1,250,000 people are
currently awaiting surgery in the UK.

Private medical insurance enables you to receive the best possible health care as
soon as you need it. Moreover, you can even chose which hospital you want to be
treated in, from the list provided to you by your health insurance provider. On a
private UK health insurance scheme, medical treatments are carried out at a time
which is convenient to you, and visiting times are much more flexible than at NHS
hospitals. The quality of accommodation with private health insurance is much higher
than in NHS hospitals, so that you are made to feel as comfortable as possible.

It is therefore possibly unsurprising that when faced with the choice of receiving
the best possible medical care when its needed or waiting for months to receive
treatment on the NHS, that so many people are opting for the former.
