The Health and Medicines Act 1988 (Superannuation) (Savings for Retired Practitioners) Regulations 1989
These Regulations make savings in connection with the coming into force of section 9 of the Health and Medicines Act 1988 (“the Act”). That section revokes regulation 76 of the National Health Service (Superannuation) Regulations 1980 under which further employment as a medical or dental practitioner within the National Health Service, between the ages of 65 and 70 years, is disregarded for the purpose of determining whether there should be a reduction in a pension payable under those Regulations. Regulation 2 of these Regulations, however, enables those practitioners who, in the month preceding the coming into force of section 9 of the Act, were taking advantage of regulation 76 to continue to do so as if that provision had not been revoked.
