Morrisons has switched provider for its private medical insurance (PMI) scheme.

The retailer, which provides PMI cover for its senior managers, has moved to a policy from PruHealth. Under the scheme, senior managers have access to better levels of medical cover and improved health-screening services, offering checks for a wider range of critical conditions, such as cardiovascular disease.

Dr Mollie Belton, company medical adviser, said: "I expect to see people engage more diligently in healthy lifestyle changes."
