The NHS Business Services Authority is sympathetic to the situation that NHS staff currently find themselves in during the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic and are keen to support members of the NHS Pension Scheme (England and Wales) who are front line healthcare workers. Following careful consideration we are extending the voluntary ‘scheme pays’ deadline for 2018/19 by three months until 31 October 2020.
We will review the extension again at the end of July 2020 taking into consideration the level of the pandemic at that time.
