2 Adults; Laya Control 300 Create price 1146pa would still be best value at that level of cover.
Lower priced plans would mean dropping hi-tech hospital cover(to include just Beacon hospital) and day to day cover.

Family price total would be 873 + 873 + 319 = 2065 + 3% charge 60 = 2125 + 448 = 2573
Based on the above options, total family price would be 1146 + 1146 + 319 = 2611 +3% charge 78 = 2689 + 448 = 3137pa.
There is always the option for one adult to choose Control 300 Create and the second adult to choose Essential Health 300 if it suits.
