Private health care tends to be pretty jank, usually bupa's cheapest scheme or whatever.
The two permie jobs that I had it were basically the same, if your NHS gp diagnoses you with something that requires referral to a specialist, they will pay 250 quid of the cost of a private referral (which may or may not cover it) as well as the cost of any necessary non-cosmetic surgery/treatment privately.
So if you break your leg, or suffer some serious ailment, you can have private treatment. For everyone else, it does nothing. And some consultants charge more than 250 quid, so you can expect to pay the difference!
