The Life Insurance Market

Men in Wales should seriously consider getting critical illness cover after it emerged that their cancer rate is the highest in the UK.
New figures from the Office of National Statistics (ONS) show that the prostate cancer in Wales is 17 per cent higher than the UK average, but the mortality rate is one per cent lower.
This suggests that more men are living with the disease, which heightens the need for them to consider critical illness insurance.
The stats for all cancers show similar results – the diagnosis rate is much higher than average, but the death rate is similar to the national one.
Shelagh Reynolds from the Welsh Cancer Intelligence and Surveillance Unit (WCISU) puts the figures down to "earlier diagnosis".
