Pettett has been executive director of the Health Funds Association, which is made up of the country’s health insurers, for more than five years.
The association has been a major force in pushing the debate for more favourable tax treatment for private healthcare.
It is currently looking for a replacement, she says, and it will continue as an entity alongside the two other bodies which cover the insurance industry.
“It was felt that we’ve got a particular focus and expertise and that it’s valuable to keep that,” she says.
Pettett will take up her new role at the end of January.
