Wellness and immunisation programmes are key to the management of healthcare costs, according to Shaun Matisonn, chief executive of PruProtection. Matisonn believed, apart from making sure the right vaccination has been given, that there has to be a shift in the way people live their lives as changes would prevent a significant number of premature deaths in the UK. The cost of premature deaths in the UK stood at £1.6bn in 2005 but it is predicted that this will rise to £6.4bn in 2015 as a result of problems including obesity. Currently, only £2.5bn is spent in this area of medicine.
