In the youngest group made up of 30 years, the change to the lower premiums was noted between 2016 and 2018 and had the most significant fall (-12.8%)

People between the age of 40 years and 45 years, the percentage fall was 4.2% and for people over the age of 50 years the percentage fall was 0.1%.
