The National Health Service Superannuation Scheme (Scotland) Amendment (No.2) Regulations 1997
These Regulations amend the National Health Service Superannuation Scheme (Scotland) Regulations 1995 (“the 1995 Regulations”) by bringing registered medical practitioners on the list of a Health Board and partnerships of such practitioners within the definition of an “employing authority” and thereby enabling persons employed by them to assist in the provision of general medical services under the National Health Service (Scotland) Act 1978 to join the NHS Superannuation Scheme for Scotland. Periods of work relating solely or partly to the provision of medical services other than general medical services under the 1978 Act are not included in a member’s pensionable service (regulations 3 and 4).
