This is not triggered by a member breaching the annual allowance, but instead by the member requesting a statement. ‘On demand’ statements should be provided by the NHS Business Services Authority by the later of three months from the date of request by the individual or by 6 October following the end of the relevant tax year. However, this is dependent on the NHS Business Services Authority receiving the relevant data from the Employing Authority such as pensionable pay.</p><p>The NHS Business Services Authority cannot exclusively identify healthcare professionals but confirm that during the period of 1 April 2018 to 31 March 2019 it provided NHS Pension Scheme members with 17,187 ‘on demand’ PSSs of which 13,393 were completed on time.</p> answering member constituency Kingswood answering member printed Chris Skidmore question first answered 09/09/2019 18:38:13 answering member 4021 label Biography information for Chris Skidmore

This is subject to negotiations, which are ongoing.</p><p>In the event that we cannot reach an agreement with EU Member States, EHICs may no longer be valid after exit day. It is not possible for the UK Government to guarantee access unilaterally to healthcare abroad, as this depends on decisions by Member States.</p><p>The Government has always advised UK nationals to take out comprehensive travel insurance when going overseas, both to EU and non-EU destinations.
