Health plan coming for security guards

Security guards are to benefit from a self-contributory health-insurance scheme provided through Guardian Life.

National Security Minister Robert Montague said that some 23,000 registered security guards stand to benefit from health coverage.

Montague said the ministry worked with Guardian Life and the Private Security Regulation Authority to design the policy, which is based on the salaries of the guards.

The health-insurance plan is expected to become effective on December 1.
