Private healthcare is rising — and it’s a retention play

- 42% used private healthcare in the past 12 months; 500k+ went abroad.
- The surge comes as NHS waiting lists rise (7.4m).
- With “job hugging” growing, health benefits are a stay factor.
- Next step: review your mix (private medical insurance, virtual GP, mental health support, cash plans), gather feedback, and pilot early-intervention options.
