Extensive cuts to NHS treatments could impact providers’ underwriting and lead to rising premiums, experts warn.
The Government announced last week it will stop funding 25 cancer treatment drugs, in a move designed to trim costs by up to £80m.
LV= head of underwriting Lisa Byrne says while the removal of the cancer treatments itself would not impact pricing, an extensive campaign of further cuts to treatments currently provided by the NHS would soon be factored into the price of protection.

Hadn't really thought about this, but logical. Another reason to support the NHS properly instead of tinkering with it and putting useless sticking plasters on it all the time 🙄
