Irish private health insurance provider
QUINN-healthcare will rebrand itself Laya healthcare.

Laya, an acronym for Looking After You Always
and QUINN-healthcare said it is currently in the process of
transitioning to the new brand.

Dónal Clancy, managing director of
QUINN-healthcare, explained that as from 1 May its new underwriter
would be Elips Insurance Limited, a wholly owned subsidary of
SwissRe.

A spokeswoman for Laya said the rebranding
follows a management buy-out in December 2011.
