Request

I am submitting four electronic FOI requests for Wesleyan Assurance Society, all regarding NHS pensions and McCloud impacts:

1. For doctors and dentists – how many have seen a reduction in their total AA input for the years 15/16 to 21/22? Can this be split between members of the 1995 and 2008 sections.
2. For doctors and dentists – how many have seen an increase in their total AA input for the years 15/16 to 21/22? Can this be split between members of the 1995 and 2008 sections.
3. How many have now exceeded the AA in 19/20 that didn’t before?
4. How many are now within the AA that were over before?

Can this be split GP, Hospital Doctors and Dentists? Please let me know if you have any questions when possible

On 19 November you clarified the following:

Yes this relates to McCloud affected members only.

• For members who were in 1995 and 2015 before roll back seen an increase in their total input after roll back to the 1995. • For members who were in 1995 and 2015 before roll back seen an reduction in their total input after roll back to the 1995. • For members who were in 2008 and 2015 before roll back seen an increase in their total input after roll back to the 2008. • For members who were in 2008 and 2015 before roll back seen an reduction in their total input after roll back to the 2008.

Can this be broken down per year in the remedy period and over the whole remedy period

Response

I can confirm that the NHSBSA holds the information you have requested, and a copy of the information is attached.

Please read the below notes to ensure correct understanding of the data. Only members who have a complete AA calculation for both pre-rollback and post-rollback service are included, otherwise a comparison between the total input values would be impossible.

Calculations for McCloud affected members are still ongoing.

Member employment type is determined in priority order based on the type of service held. First checking for GP service, followed by Hospital Doctor service, and finally Dentist service. It is possible a member may hold service of multiple types, but they will only be counted based on the first service type found.

Members will be counted once in each year that pensions growth values are held. They may not have a growth value for every year in question.
