James Dalton, Director of General Insurance Policy, Association of British Insurers, said:
“In this national crisis, the private health sector will do what it takes to help the NHS have the resources it needs. Freeing up beds in private hospitals will help the NHS treat more patients affected by the virus and save lives. During this time private medical insurance customers will continue to be supported through a range of virtual online health care services. Any customers with private medical insurance who have any concerns, should speak to their health insurer for further information.”
