The Fund relocated to Newport Road, Cardiff, where the offices of WHA are situated.  This move brings together two highly trained workforces under one roof and brings cost and efficiency improvements to both Plutus and WHA.  Exciting times lie ahead for both Funds.

Acquired by the Welsh Hospitals & Health Services Association (WHA).  Plutus Health and WHA have similar backgrounds, both providing members in Wales and the surrounding areas with healthcare cash plans for many decades – in our case, since 1839! We are both not-for-profit associations and have our members at the heart of everything we do, providing access to excellent healthcare at a price you can afford. The acquisition of Plutus by WHA will ensure that the Fund continues to serve its members for many years to come, through developing and offering high quality, cost-effective health plans.

The decision was taken to undertake a complete re brand of the Gwent Hospitals Contributory Fund organisation.

This was largely down to the fact that we wished to revitalise the look of a 175 year old healthcare brand with an image that was in keeping with the modern healthcare and financial marketplace. We also were keen to remove the geographical limitations associated with our name. After all, we are a national company and we wanted our brand to live up to the excellent reputation of our products and services.

Incorporated as a not for profit company limited by guarantee as The Gwent Hospital Workmen’s and Contributory Fund.

NHS came into being with free health care for all. However, the fund continued to provide members with reimbursement for dental and optical treatments, prescriptions and a range of hospital and health care benefits.

The Fund founders committed to helping those in need to have access to the very best healthcare available.
