Request

I noticed the attached spreadsheet and would like the corresponding ones for 1999 to 2015

On 28 September 2023 you clarified the following:

I would under a FOI ask how the information about these contracts is retained so it can be used yeas later in the calculation of dental pensions basically how do you do it having discarded that raw data?

Response

NHS Dental Services act as the employing authority for pension purposes for NHS dental performers. At the end of each financial year, there is a pension reconciliation exercise where providers and performers can confirm or amend the estimated pensionable earnings processed for the previous year. At the end of the exercise a file is created and passed to NHS Pensions to update the master records for all scheme members under our employing authority code.

NHS Pensions hold the master for all pension scheme members and are responsible for pension calculations when a scheme member retires.
