Permanently abolish NHS pension abatement rules

Petition Details

The outdated NHS pension abatement rules, currently suspended during the pandemic, should be permanently abolished. Many NHS workers are able to retire at 55 and can be re-employed by the NHS but abatement rules ensure strict restrictions on their hours and earnings until they reach the age of 60.

Additional Information

There are currently many healthcare professionals aged 55-60 who are retired or due to retire soon, and wish to continue working while drawing their pensions. Many do return to work but are subject to NHS pension abatement rules. This means staff cannot take on full time roles at the grade they retire from and may not be fully rewarded for working unsociable or extra hours.
