BMA wins case over GPs' pension cap, 13 March
13 March 2008
The result of a two-day judicial review into the 2006 decision by the government to cap the GP pensions dynamisation factor has been announced.
The British Medical Association (BMA) has won its case against the government’s action in reneging on its decision on how GPs pensions would be calculated from the years 2004 - 06. The judge ruled that the government behaved unlawfully in 2006 when the Secretary of State for Health retrospectively introduced a limit on the amount retiring GPs could receive in their NHS pensions.
The GPC will be considering this outcome carefully and will report further in due course.
