Norwich Union Healthcare has proposed a public-private partnership for financing the NHS, whereby everyone would contribute “premiums” based on their level of income.

Everyone would be obliged to register with a health insurer of their choice and, in so doing, carry “stakeholder” insurance. Income tax would be reduced to accomodate these premiums.

The NHS would itself become a health insurer providing cover for the unemployed and those on benefits. Insurers, including NHS Insurance, would buy services from the NHS and private hospitals.

The 2025 Insurance Times Awards took place on the evening of Wednesday 3rd December in the iconic Great Room of London’s Grosvenor House.

Hosted by comedian and actor Tom Allen, 34 Gold, 23 Silver and 22 Bronze awards were handed out across an amazing 34 categories recognising brilliance and innovation right across the breadth of UK general insurance.
Many congratulations to all the worthy winners and as always, huge thanks to our sponsors for their support and our judges for their expertise.
