The Healthcare Focus Group of the British Insurance Brokers’ Association (BIBA) has been strengthened with the appointments of Mike Izzard, former Cairman of AMII and Wayne Pointin, from Jelf Employee Benefits to the committee.
The announcement was confirmed at the latest committee meeting on 20th October and follows the recent appointment of John Miller from Towergate who joined to represent consolidators on the committee.
The new appointments follow the committee’s decision earlier this year to broaden its remit from private medical insurance to wider healthcare issues including income protection, critical illness and group life insurance.
Peter Staddon, BIBA’s Head of Technical Services, said: “The new members to the Focus Group will strengthen the expertise of the group which will help us to tackle a range of health care industry issues head on.”
Glen Smith, MD of Healthcare Partners and Chairman of the BIBA Healthcare Focus Group, added: “The stronger focus group will help us to engage with Government, especially following the announcements around the NHS in the recent comprehensive spending review.”
