Vhi have responded to today's comments and threat of legal action from Quinn Healthcare by issuing a terse statement, rebuking the claims made by its rival.

The statement reads:

"Reference to Vhi Healthcare inefficiencies is completely incorrect as Vhi Healthcare is demonstrably the most efficient insurer not only in Ireland but also in Europe.

The expressed commitment to community rating by Quinn Healthcare is in direct contradiction to their refusal to contribute to the community risk through the Risk Equalisation mechanism."
