NHS: Re-employment
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what steps he is taking to bring retired NHS staff back into service.
Answered by Karin Smyth
NHS England operates Return to Practice for Nurses, Midwives and Health and Care Professions Council professionals, which is for those wanting to return after their professional registration has lapsed. This includes retired National Health Service staff going back into service.
NHS Pension Scheme rules have been changed over recent years to make returning to service and contributing extra hours more attractive.
