A recent BMA Freedom of Information request has revealed that 56% of GPs in England have missing pensions records up to 2022/23, with 156,896 years of pension data missing in total. The BMA continue to meet with Capita, NHS BSA and NHSE to put pressure on them, and although they have had verbal commitment that they will write to affected members with specific personalised information in relation to missing years in pension records, no timeline was provided.

BMA have highlighted Capita’s failures in the media and called for an urgent solution to this significant issue. Whilst the BMA firmly believes that this is a problem that Capita, NHS BSA and NHSE need to work together to resolve, you can also take action to make sure your record is up to date and encourage you to do so using the BMA’s step-by-step guidance to help you.

The LMC has also raised our concerns with PCSE, and we will continue to correspond with them in this regard on a regular basis.
