The partnership review of the NHS Injury Benefit scheme has commenced. The review is being carried out in partnership between NHS Employers and NHS Trades Unions. The Department of Health, the Scottish Government and Northern Ireland are observers, with NHS Pensions and occupational health experts contributing to the review. The Review Partners are currently in the process of agreeing the terms of reference for the review.
The injury benefit discussions previously commenced as part of the NHS ill health retirement review, which was concluded in 2008. See the ill health retirement section for details.
NHS Pensions are responsible for the administration of the scheme. Further details can be found on the NHS Pensions website.
Further details on the review will follow shortly.
