The department keeps the rules of the pension scheme under review to ensure it continues to help the NHS attract and retain the staff needed to deliver high-quality care for patients.
This consultation proposes the following changes to the scheme rules to:
- retrospectively amend the definition of overtime in the 2015 Scheme to be pensionable up to whole-time equivalent hours
- clarify the method for calculating member contributions where pay reduces during a period of absence
- amend the regulations regarding general practitioner (GP) and non-GP provider annual certificates of pensionable profit
- allow members who are affected by the McCloud remedy to revoke a deferred choice election or for a deferred choice election to lapse in certain circumstances
- make other technical and miscellaneous amendments
