This is approximately 13,900 employees. 2. This is to be a Healthcare Trust scheme. This will be through a Trust Deed, as is being used now, not a Master Trust. 3. The scheme must be administered with a specific stop loss (SSL) agreement set at appropriate levels. 4. The scheme must offer senior leaders family cover and for everyone else the ability to add on partners and dependants at an additional cost. There should be four levels of cover: Single, Married, Single Parent Family and Family. 5. The scheme must offer clinical pathways to treatment without a need for a General Practitioner (GP) referral, such as (but not limited to) certain types of cancer, physiotherapy, osteopathy, and mental health support. 6. The scheme rates should offer affordability to all Network Rail employees, taking into consideration the demographics within the organization. 7. The scheme must have geographic coverage across Great Britain to cover all routes and regions Network Rail operates in. 8. The number of employees utilizing the service may vary depending on how the business develops; as such, the services must have flexibility to be scaled at short notice. 9.
