Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask Her Majesty's Government how many NHS practice nurses in England, after working in NHS GP practices across the country, have been excluded from the NHS pension arrangements available to other NHS staff; what estimate they have made of the pension such nurses would have accrued, on average, had they been able to accrue pensions in the same way as nurses working in other parts of the NHS.

It has not proved possible to respond to this question in the time available before Dissolution. Ministers will correspond directly with the Member.
