Posted on Wednesday, September 17th, 2008 at 3:25pm

Secured loans could well provide people with a means to cover the cost of dental checkups and treatment, following comments made by Engage Mutual Assurance.

A study by the financial services provider indicates that 43 per cent of adults in the UK cannot afford an examination by a dentist.

The same percentage cannot cover the costs of new glasses from the optician.

Lancashire and the north-east are struggling most, with 69 per cent of people having issues keeping up with the cost of healthcare.

East Anglia is the region having the least trouble, the company explains.

Karl Elliott, 3GB spokesperson for Engage Mutual, comments: "With the cost of living on the rise, our research shows a shocking number of people struggling to pay for some quite basic family healthcare necessities."

People struggling to cover the cost of healthcare could well find secured loans provide them with the means to do so.
