answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 27/09/2022 answer text <p>Taxation is a matter for HM Treasury. An individual may choose to claim their pension for a number of reasons and it is not possible to isolate the impact of any single factor, such as the annual allowance on retention. The Department monitors the retirement patterns and hours worked by senior doctors and keeps the NHS Pension Scheme rules under review to ensure it continues to help the National Health Service attract and retain the staff needed to deliver high quality care for patients.</p> answering member constituency Newark answering member printed Robert Jenrick question first answered 27/09/2022 14:47:20 answering member 4320 label Biography information for Robert Jenrick

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 27/09/2022 answer text <p>The NHS Pension Scheme protects the value of pensions in payment by an increase through the Consumer Price Index (CPI) each April using the CPI figure from the previous September. The Scheme also re-values accrued career-average pension benefits by CPI plus 1.5% annually for active members. A higher rate of revaluation will increase the size of pensions and may therefore increase annual allowance pension tax liability in a situation where inflation is increasing.</p> answering member constituency Newark answering member printed Robert Jenrick question first answered 27/09/2022 14:44:08 answering member 4320 label Biography information for Robert Jenrick
