Thank you for your request for information about the following:

Kindly provide the following information:

1. The number of Scheme Members who retain more than one period of live Scheme Membership (i.e. "Dual/Concurrent Employments") with the same GP Practice that are ACTIVE as at 31/03/2024
2. The number of Scheme Members who retain more than one period of live Scheme Membership (i.e. " Dual/Concurrent Employments ") with more than one GP Practice that are ACTIVE as at 31/03/2024

4. The number of Scheme Members who retain more than one period of live Scheme Membership (i.e. " Dual/Concurrent Employments ") with more than one NHS Employer that are ACTIVE as at 31/03/2024

Where I refer to GP Practices I can confirm this does not include staff employed by an OOHs (Out of Hours) Provider I can confirm this does not relate to GPs.

Please provide your response in the same format as per FOI 27682 dated 4th October 2022

Your request was received on 4 April 2024 and I am dealing with it under the terms of the Freedom of Information Act 2000.

Response

Question 1

Volume of members with more than one active post with the same GP Practice as of 01/04/2024: 753

Question 2

Volume of members with more than one active post with a different GP Practice as of 01/04/2024: 3,840

Question 3

Volume of members with more than one active post with the same employer (non-GP Practice) as of 01/04/2024: 126,018

Question 4

Volume of members with more than one active post with a different employer (non-GP Practice) as of 01/04/2024: 43,528

Caveats/Comments:

GP Practices are identified by their employment type. For question 3 and 4 “NHS Employer” is defined as any employer which is NOT a GP Practice.

Due to the questions not being mutually exclusive, and members being able to be pensionable in any number of part time posts, it is possible for a member to be counted in each group.

The data provided in this FOI response counts all scheme members including those working in clinical and non-clinical roles.

Definitions:

Active Scheme Member – Member was contributing to the pension scheme as of 31/03/2024.

Out of Hours provider – An Employing Authority which provides GP out of hours cover outside of normal practice hours.
