Chairs that are either employed directly by the clinical commissioning group or are general practitioners performing that role on a fee basis alongside their National Health Service practice duties can participate in the NHS Pension Scheme. As the employer, the clinical commissioning group contributes towards the cost of an individual’s pension benefits. The value of pension related benefit payments made each year in respect of their chairs is recorded by clinical commissioning groups in their annual report. The level of pension benefits that are payable to an individual upon retirement varies based on length of NHS service and will be calculated in accordance with the accrual rate and rules of the relevant pension scheme.
