Over one in five employers have said they plan to increase the healthcare benefits available to their workforce during the coming year according to an annual survey carried out by Employee Benefits magazine.

The bigger the better – the well-known phrase that many of us live by, either consciously or subconsciously when making decisions every day of our lives whether that's choosing between the 8oz or 16oz steak or which level of private medical cover to opt for. Before the recession took hold last year, people may have decided that a fully comprehensive policy was best for them with every possible situation covered. But since then, people have begun to opt out of certain aspects of their policy such as extra alternative therapies or physiotherapy, especially as premiums have begun to rise. But Stuart Scullion, spokesman for The Private Health Partnership told Health Insur ts on any of its policies. This means that no matter how much their customers pay each month, they will still have access to the same number of treatment centres across the UK. This increases the chance that a person will be able to be cared for in a place and time that is most convenient to them.

The NHS can expect to have a shortfall of £15 billion over the space of five years according to the NHS confederation. The shortfall is likely to come following 2011 when the era of big spending will come to a sudden end. The problem has arisen from the culmination of a number of factors, including the recession, lower increases in budgets as well as rising costs. Top health service managers have warned this week in a report at the annual NHS confederation conference in Liverpool that action needs to be taken now to prevent bosses having to make major cuts when the shortfall comes into effect.

The NHS celebrated its 60th birthday last year and has long been celebrated as a successful healthcare system, widely respected by other countries across the world, especially those that can't or don't provide free healthcare to their people. So why should people in the UK consider private health insurance then? The fact is that 7 million people in the UK are now covered by some level of private medical insurance, may be caused by the fact that the NHS sometimes struggles to meet with demand particularly because of increased pressure from government targets.

Private medical insurance has many benefits, giving the British public more than one reason to enquire into a quote for private medical cover. The number of people who took out private health insurance rose in 2008 by 3.7 percent, astonishing considering the country entered into a recession, just going to show that the advantages of having a private medical insurance policy has become more prominent to people than ever. Freedom Healthnet takes a look at the top five reasons for taking out PMI, according to Bupa.

1. Clean Hospitals
The NHS is notoriously under pressure, mainly because it has a limited budget and has suffered from cleanliness in the past few years. Despite the number of cases of MRSA and other superbu nditions get any worse by waiting for longer on the NHS are just some of the reasons why two percent more people took out private medical insurance than last year.

5. Ability to see the same consultant

Private medical insurance is one of the hardest things to cut back on during the recession. That's according to the director of Bupa UK Health Insurance. Fiona Harris told the Yorkshire Post that people find it the most difficult to cut back on their private health cover, even over other items such as holidays, eating out and pensions and long term savings. This may be because they don't want to lose the peace of mind that comes with a private health insurance policy, knowing that top quality healthcare is available as and when they need it. Poor health is not something that can be predicted, particularly as a result of an accident so a lot of people are reassure n used to pay for private treatment to be used to cover other costs incurred by the illness, such as travel.

The British Insurance Broker's Association (Biba) say that PMI could help keep a business healthy, as well as its staff. With many companies doing their best to keep going in the recession, it's no wonder that more and more bosses are looking to take moves to benefit their business and a corporate private medical health insurance policy could be just one way of doing so.

The workforce in the UK is getting older and employers need to take active steps to look after their workers health. That's the message coming from Bupa after a report was published predicting the average age for a worker to be 43 by 2030. In forty years time we can also expect to see the average retiring age at 68. So with an ageing workforce meaning potentially more illnesses and days lost to sickness each year, companies are being advised to take out a corporate private medical insurance policy to ensure that their employees have access to the best quality healthcare services available in a place and time most convenient to them so that they have the best chance of being in as good a state of health as possible.
