NHS: Workplace Pensions

Asked by Dr Rosena Allin-KhanLabourDepartment of Health and Social CareTabled Answered 2 June 2025UIN 53118

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what assessment he has made of the potential merits of including NHS Professionals employees in the NHS Pension Scheme.

Answered by Karin Smyth

No such assessment has been made. NHS Professionals is a private limited company operating in a competitive environment to secure contracts with National Health Service trusts, and as such it makes its own assessment of the terms upon which it attracts and retains its employees.
