<p>The following table provides an estimate of the number, and percentage, of National
Health Service staff in England on the Electronic Staff Record (ESR) who did not pay
into the NHS Pension Scheme as at April of each year since 2010.</p><table><tbody><tr><td><p>Year</p></td><td><p>Scheme
non-members</p><p>estimated from</p><p>ESR data <sup>1,2,3,5</sup></p></td><td><p>Estimated
scheme non-members in NHS trusts and</p><p>clinical commissioning</p><p>groups (CCGs)
<sup>4,5</sup></p><p> </p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2010</p></td><td><p>14%</p></td><td><p>169,000</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2011</p></td><td><p>15%</p></td><td><p>171,000</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2012</p></td><td><p>15%</p></td><td><p>167,000</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2013</p></td><td><p>15%</p></td><td><p>165,000</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2014</p></td><td><p>11%</p></td><td><p>123,000</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2015</p></td><td><p>11%</p></td><td><p>128,000</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2016</p></td><td><p>11%</p></td><td><p>130,000</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2017</p></td><td><p>11%</p></td><td><p>128,000</p></td></tr></tbody></table><p>Notes:</p><p><sup>1</sup>The
percentage of scheme non-members is based on staff identified on the ESR Data Warehouse
with no employers’ pension contribution made on their behalf in the March of each
year.</p><p><sup>2</sup>Percentages do not cover general practices and other organisations
that are excluded from or choose not to use ESR for payroll functions.</p><p><sup>3</sup>The
ESR Data Warehouse is a monthly snapshot of the local ESR payroll systems. The ESR
Data Warehouse is unvalidated.</p><p><sup>4</sup>The number of scheme non-members
is estimated by multiplying NHS Digital’s published headcount of staff in NHS trusts
and CCGs at 31 March each year by the percentage of scheme non-members estimated from
ESR data.</p><p><sup>5</sup>It should be noted that it is not appropriate to conflate
these estimates with NHS Pension Scheme membership counts derived from NHS Business
Services Authority (NHSBSA) data. The NHSBSA collates active membership data on all
NHS pension scheme members across primary care in England and Wales. The ESR Data
Warehouse is a monthly snap shot of the live ESR system. This is the HR and payroll
system that covers all NHS employees other than those working in general practice,
Moorfields Eye Hospital NHS Foundation Trust and Chesterfield Royal Hospital NHS Foundation
Trust, and organisations to which functions have been transferred, such as local authorities.
Figures are for England only.</p><p> </p><p> </p>
