Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what recent discussions he had had with the Secretary of State for Health on the flexibility of pensions available to NHS (a) doctors and (b) consultants.

The Government is committed to public service pensions which are fair to workers and fair to other taxpayers. The Government is aware of specific concerns raised by NHS doctors who are impacted by annual allowance tax charges, and we are currently discussing the issue with the Department of Health and Social Care. All public sector pay and pensions policies are kept under constant review.
