# The Teachers' Superannuation (Scotland) Amendment Regulations 1997, Schedule 2: NEW PART V IN SCHEDULE 9 TO THE 1992 REGULATIONS


“PART V
PERSONS FORMERLY MEMBERS OF THE NATIONAL HEALTH SERVICE PENSION SCHEME
22 In this Part–
(a) “the 1995 Regulations” means the National Health Service Superannuation Scheme (Scotland) Regulations 1995; and
(b) the expression “member” and “scheme” shall be construed in accordance with the 1995 Regulations.
23 This Part applies to persons who–
(a) immediately before they were in pensionable employment (for the purposes of these Regulations) were employed by a health board in a college of nursing or midwifery and were in pensionable employment within the meaning of the 1995 Regulations; and
(b) whose employment ceased to be pensionable within the meaning of the 1995 Regulations on 1st September 1996 or, in the case of the Robert Gordon University, 1st December 1996 and became pensionable for the purpose of these Regulations by virtue of a relevant transfer within the meaning of the Transfer of Undertakings (Protection of Employment) Regulations 1981.
24 (1) If a person to whom this Part applies–
(a) chose, while he was a member of the scheme to increase his right to benefits under the scheme by buying additional service under regulation Q1 of the 1995 Regulations by making regular additional contributions;
(b) at the time of the relevant transfer referred to in paragraph 23 had not completed the payment of the additional contributions; and
(c) a transfer value has been accepted by the Secretary of State,
he may complete the payment of such contributions as if Part Q of the 1995 Regulations applied to him and shall accordingly be entitled to count as reckonable service the additional service which would have been bought under Part Q of the 1995 Regulations by the payment of such contributions.
(2) Regulation C14 shall apply to the contributions referred to in this paragraph as if such contributions were paid under regulation C4.
(3) For the purposes of any provision in these Regulations which imposes a maximum on the contributions which a person can make, the contributions referred to in this paragraph shall be treated as paid under Part C.
25 Where a person to whom this Part applies–
(a) was immediately before the relevant transfer referred to in paragraph 23 a person to whom regulation R2 (special provision for certain nurses, physiotherapists, midwives and health visitors) or R3 (special provision for certain mental health officers) of the 1995 Regulations applied; and
(b) has continued to be such a person after the said transfer save only for the fact that his employer is not an employing authority within the meaning of the 1995 Regulations,
regulation E5 shall apply in relation to that person as if the references to the age of 60 were references to the age of 55.
26 Where a transfer value has been accepted in respect of a person to whom this Part applies the person is entitled to count as reckonable service the period which, at the time of relevant transfer referred to in paragraph 23, he was entitled to count as pensionable service for the purposes of the 1995 Regulations.”
