BRITISH HEALTH CARE ASSOCIATION

Summary

That this House expresses its appreciation to the British Health Care Association for its work in supporting the NHS and its users; notes that cash and gifts of equipment made to the NHS by the member organisations of the BHCA continue year on year, that the 20 mutual companies who are members of the BHCA cover 1.7 million NHS patients and that these mutuals offer practical low-cost cover to meet the unavoidable additional expenses of visiting dentists, opticians and many alternative and complementary treatments, specialist consultations and investigations; further observes that benefits include provision of cash payments for time spent in hospital, grants for maternity and home help in addition to generous payments for personal injury and disability; appreciates the not-for-profit approach of this sector; looks forward to the BHCA and its members continuing to make a valuable contribution to a healthier nation; and invites the Secretary of State for Health and the Chancellor of the Exchequer to continue to take full account of this worthwhile contribution in the development of future health and taxation policies.
