Hi TurningGreen,
The following plan with Laya is worth considering for yourself and the 3 children;

This plan has similar cover to Health Plan 16.1 and better cover than Family Value Plan.
Good day to day cover for everyone.

VHI are best priced for young adult plans for the 19 year old as follows;
1. VHI Plan PMI 12 11; price 342pa; public, private and hi-tech hospital cover included.

Total family price; 999 + 239 + 239 + 239 + 342 = 2058pa.
If you pay monthly or quarterly with Laya, a 3% charge applies, so total family price would be 2109approx.
VHI Alternative
VHI have a half price offer which applies from 1 January 2016, it would be worth enquiring if you could avail of this offer price as a concession, since your renewal date is 31 December 2015.
If allowable, the best priced plan for the 3 children is as follows;
1. One + Plan; price per child 131pa; public, private and hi-tech hospital cover included, no day to day cover.

Best option for yourself as follows;

19 year old option as follows;
1. VHI Plan PMI 12 11; price 342; public, private and hi-tech hospital cover included.

Total family price; 1152 + 131 + 131 + 131 + 342 =1887pa
There's plenty of savings to be achieved without losing cover and with better cover for the children.
