Call You & Yours: Private Healthcare

You and Yours

Available for over a year

On this week's Call You and Yours we're asking: How easy is it for you to access healthcare? A new report by the Private Healthcare Information Network (PHIN) shows that almost a million people were admitted for private medical treatment in the UK last year – which is a record high. Lengthy NHS waiting lists have been a factor, but there has also been significant growth in the number of people that are covered by private medical insurance. So, if you've chosen private medical treatment, we want to know why? If not, is this something you're thinking about? Likewise, many people feel no need to even consider private medical treatment as they receive fantastic care in the NHS. Does this sound like you? Get in touch - email [email protected] and please include a number so we can call you back. And after 11am on Tuesday 03 June you can call us on 03700 100 444. Presenter: Winifred Robinson Producer: Charlie Filmer-Court
