What is the issue?
We recognise members’ concerns that the current pension tax legislation has led some high-earning senior clinicians to receive high tax bills, which has created a perverse incentive for senior clinicians to reduce their working hours or retire early. This has a clear negative impact on retention and has exacerbated existing rota gaps.
