# The Local Government Superannuation Regulations 1986, Paragraph 5

Extent: E+W+S

In relation to existing contributors these regulations have effect with the substitution for regulation H6 of the following:
“Persons transferred to the Common Council under section 18(4)(a) of the National Health Service Reorganisation Act 1973
H6 (1) This paragraph applies to a person—
(a) who was by or under an order made under section 18(4)(a) of the National Health Service Reorganisation Act 1973 transferred to the employment of the Common Council, and
(b) who immediately before he was so transferred was in an employment in which he was an officer within the meaning of the Health Service regulations, and
(c) who on the date on which he was so transferred became a contributor to the local Act superannuation fund in the employment to which he was so transferred, and
(d) who became a pensionable employee in that employment on 1st October 1977, and
(e) to whom paragraph (4) does not apply.
(2) A person to whom paragraph (1) applies is, subject to paragraph (3), entitled to reckon—
(a) as reckonable service any service which for the purposes of the Health Service regulations he was entitled to reckon in relation to the employment mentioned in paragraph (1)(b), as, or as a period of, contributing service, and
(b) as qualifying service any service which for the purposes of those regulations he was entitled to reckon in relation to that employment for the purpose of determining whether he was entitled to a benefit under those regulations, but for no other purpose.
(3) For the purposes of paragraph (2) any period of part-time service shall be treated as though it was whole-time service for a proportionately reduced period and, except for the purposes referred to in regulation E26(3), any service which was reckonable under the Health Service regulations for all purposes (other than for the purpose of determining whether any benefit was payable) as a period of contributing service at half its length shall be counted at half its length.
(4) In relation to a person who gave notice under regulation 19(3) of the Local Government Superannuation (City of London) Regulations 1977 that he did not wish to avail himself of the benefits provided under the 1974 regulations, these regulations have effect as if they conferred on him rights corresponding with those which he would have enjoyed if he had remained subject to the provisions of the Health Service regulations, and continue so to apply so long as he is employed without a disqualifying break of service by the Common Council on duties reasonably comparable to those on which he was engaged immediately before he was transferred.
(5) Notwithstanding anything in paragraph (4), where that paragraph applies—
(a) regulation C12(11) has effect as if—
(i) sub-paragraph (a) were omitted, and
(ii) the reference in sub-paragraph (b) to reckonable service and qualifying service were a reference to service reckonable for the purpose of determining whether any benefit is payable,
(b) regulation D11 has effect as if—
(i) references to qualifying service included references to service reckonable for the purpose of determining whether any benefit is payable,
(ii) paragraph (2) were omitted,
(iii) in paragraph (3), the reference to regulation E2(1)(c) included a reference to regulation 8(1)(a)(iv) of the Health Service regulations, and
(iv) “retirement pension” included a pension payable by virtue of paragraph (4) of this regulation,
(c) regulation E15 has effect in lieu of regulation 39 of the Health Service regulations and as if—
(i) “retirement pension” included a pension payable by virtue of that paragraph, and
(ii) for the purpose of ascertaining the remuneration of a former employment, entitlement to such a pension were not an entitlement under these regulations or the 1974 regulations, and
(d) regulation M1 has effect in lieu of regulation 55 of the Health Service regulations.
(6) In this regulation “the local Act superannuation fund” has the same meaning as in the Local Government Superannuation (City of London) Regulations 1977.”.
