Asked by Dr Luke EvansConservativeDepartment of Health and Social CareTabled Answered 28 January 2025UIN 23857

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, whether his Department has made an assessment of the potential implications for his policies of alleged errors made by the NHS Business Service Authority on (a) doctors pensions saving statements and (b) the annual allowance.

Answered by Karin Smyth

The Department recognises that the service received by impacted individuals was not acceptable and will negatively impact their personal pension tax affairs. The Department became aware of a calculation error in 2023/24 Pension Savings Statements issued by the NHS Business Services Authority (NHSBSA) on 6 January 2025. NHSBSA is working with the Department and the British Medical Association to understand the impact on individuals, to rectify the issue and provide guidance and support with their next steps.
