crazy rewards

Research by the HSF Health Plan has found that half of Brits put off important medical checks due to the expense. The figures show that 48% of Brits don't conduct medical check ups like trips to the dentist due to the rising costs. A trip to the dentist has risen by 30% since 2006.

Detecting dental and optical conditions early on save money in the long run and increases the chance of successful treatment. But with the cost of living ever-increasing, will the consumer see that?

As employment figures for women continues to grow, it seems that attitudes to life insurance and income protection are the same as they were in the 1970s.

According to research from AXA, nearly half of all working women haven't invested in any kind of financial protection, such as life insurance, critical illness insurance or income protection insurance.

By 2018 it is expected that the number of women of working age in the UK will overtake the number of men of working age, yet they still lack in protecting their finances and their families.

As many as 8m women in the UK don't have life insurance or any other financial protection in place, putting their families as well as themselves at risk.

Tesco health insurance have launched a new plan, for children. Unlike most plans, which cover children as part of an adult policy, the new Tesco plan is available just for kids - parents don't have to insure themselves to benefit from the cover.

The policy offers access to a professional for consultations, tests and diagnosis and private treatment if a child has to go to hospital for an operation or procedure that can't be treated within six weeks on the NHS.

It's nice to know that there is a policy out there which will secure the health of your child, without the need to insure yourselves.
