Question to the Ministry of Defence:
To ask Her Majesty's Government whether they plan to extend to the Defence Medical Services the same changes to pension tax rules that they are offering to senior consultants within the National Health Service.
The Department for Health and Social Care are intending to publish a second consultation concerning an amendment to the NHS pension scheme for senior clinicians shortly. Once published the Ministry of Defence (MOD) will consider these proposals and their effect on MOD and Service personnel, including those in the Defence Medical Services.
