• LTC prohibitively so?
• Scope for misselling claims

• Future government intervention in product design?
• Stakeholder healthcare insurance?
![Page 7: Jackie Wells 7 th October 2003 Meeting Consumer Healthcare Needs](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032606/56649eb45503460f94bbc9d4/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)

Working Patterns
• Low unemployment and increased job flexibility
• Leading to change of mindset for protection
• Noticeable shift in emphasis
• away from complex plans to simple
• away from insurance to self-fund
• Widespread recognition of need to generate ‘income’ in periods of unemployment
• from insurance or own savings
• Self-employment / contract work viewed by some as form of protection from changes in working patterns

Demographics

• Growth of single households
• Awareness of ageing
• Baby Boomer demands and expectations

Consumerism
• Clear evidence of growing consumer interest in health• Comparative information likely to fuel trend for “consumer
oriented” behaviour and approach to the NHS
• Recognition of reduced future role for Government
“As people’s expectations rise and their income follows suit, they will demand more
power and flexibility over the manner in which they and their families are treated”
John Reid

Consumerism - Awareness
• Media• NHS crisis coverage• Men’s Health, Health Which?, Discovery Health Channel etc, • School initiatives – “Wired for Health”, “Healthy Schools
Programme”
• League tables• Retailers• Health clubs• Internet
“a first step towards giving the public hard information about the
performance of every doctor and the right to chose between them”.

Two distinct mindsets:
• Find a New Nanny

Find a New Nanny
• Traditional response to market• Supported by industry view of consumer• Supported by complex product structures• Supported by intermediary behaviour• Protection comes in guise of:
• Advisor• Big brand• Regulator• Employer

Take Control
• Rapidly emerging behaviour• Information not advice at heart of decision making• Lack of trust in formal channels• Supported by government and regulator• Current response is to reject industry solutions• Protection comes in guise of:
