Status of NHS Pension Scheme member data by employer

In March we will be sending information to finance directors or senior managers of large NHS organisations, to advise on the status of their member data prior to completion of the annual Contributions Assurance Certificate. A copy will be sent to the NHS Pensions contact.

The information will include an assessment of data based on the number of members, outstanding updates and the data errors outstanding for your employing authority. Below is an example of the details we will send:

Organization name

Position compared to other employers

Open employments

Non-Updated employments

Data errors allocated to you

1234 – NHS Trust

In addition to this, we will provide an anonymised national table for employers to understand how their data compares across other, large NHS organisations. For transparency, the table also shows data errors or actions allocated to NHS Pensions. Below is an example of the national table:
