Introduction This paper is based on information supplied by NHS Pensions Agency for GMS Contractor GPs in England and Wales for 2011/12. This report has been agreed by the Technical Steering Committee (TSC), which is chaired by the Health and Social Care Information Centre (HSCIC) and has representation from the four UK Health Departments, NHS Employers, NHS England and the British Medical Association (BMA). 4 Copyright © 2015, Health and Social Care Information Centre. All rights reserved. Final Seniority Figures for GMS GPs in England and Wales, 2011/12 3. Background The Final Seniority Figure is an earnings benchmark used to determine the level of seniority payment that individual GPs are entitled to each year. The seniority payment that is awarded to an individual GP is dependent on their years of reckonable service in the NHS and their qualifying income fraction. Annex B shows the current seniority payment scales, where payments increase as the number of years of reckonable service increase. The payment system operates using the following superannuable income fractions: A GP earning more than 2/3 of the national average superannuable income (excluding any seniority component) in any year receives 100% of the available seniority payment (relevant to the number of years they have been in service). A GP earning between 1/3 and 2/3 of the national average superannuable income (excluding any seniority component) receives 60% of the available seniority payment. A GP earning less than 1/3 of the national average superannuable income (excluding any seniority component) receives none of the available seniority payment. Clearly, in any one financial year, it is not possible to know what the average superannuable income is until the full year has actually passed and all payments have been made. Therefore, in order to allow timely seniority payments to be made, an Interim Seniority Figure (ISF) is negotiated and adopted for use during the year. As with previously published Final Seniority Figures (FSF), and the ISF, the calculations are based on GMS Contractor GPs only. In order to calculate the FSF for 2011/12, it is necessary to know the average NHS income of all GMS Contractor GPs in England and Wales. The best available source of data to enable this calculation is available from the NHS Pensions Agency, using information declared via the GP superannuation certificate. Anecdotal evidence has suggested that not all payments managers are consistently applying this definition, and that instead total NHS income (including the seniority income component) is used in the calculation of entitlement. However, the analysis presented in this paper assumes that all payment managers consistently applied the rules set out in the Statement of Financial Entitlements (SFE).

Analysis GP Coverage The analysis is based on superannuable income data for GMS Contractor GPs with a full accounting year end. See Annex A for further information on the rules for inclusions and exclusions. These are the same as the methodology for the 2010/11 Final Seniority Factors. It is necessary to know a GP’s contract type and if they work in England or Wales since the FSF is calculated for GMS GPs only and is calculated separately for England and Wales. However, country markers and contract types are not part of the NHS pensions dataset. Therefore, these markers are taken from the England and Wales GP census data, a dataset using information from the NHS GP payments system. There are a number of GPs who do not appear on the census data, for whom it is not possible to ascertain whether they work in England or Wales or who have duplicate rows in the census data with conflicting contract types. Table 1 below shows that the average superannuable income figures are very similar when these GPs are deleted from the dataset. Table 1: Average superannuable income for FSF analysis, 2011/12, GPMS Coverage Average Superannuable Income England and Wales 2011/12 before country markers and contract types added 22,968 £100,429 England and Wales 2011/12 after country markers and contract types added 22,556 £101,036 Seniority Payment It is important to note the average superannuable income figure will include an unknown component representing the actual seniority payment made to individuals for that year. However, by considering each GP’s date of birth, and assuming that each individual began to accrue Years of Reckonable Service from the age of 23 onwards, it is possible to estimate the seniority payment that was made to each individual in 2011/12 (periods of part-time and full-time working are treated the same). Hence, it is possible to estimate the average superannuable income figure excluding the seniority payment component. This figure is, by definition, the FSF that is required. The average superannuable income figures have been calculated for 2011/12 and presented in Table 2 for England and Wales GMS Contractor GPs. Amongst GMS Contractor GPs in England, the average NHS superannuable income is £97,918 in 2011/12 and for Wales, the average NHS superannuable income is £89,996. The figures are based on a population of 12,151 GMS Contractor GPs in England and 1,443 contractor GPs in Wales. 6 Copyright © 2015, Health and Social Care Information Centre. All rights reserved. Final Seniority Figures for GMS GPs in England and Wales, 2011/12 By taking the same GP coverage and analysing their dates of birth and superannuable income in the manner described in paragraph 16, the average seniority payment for England is £5,884 and the average seniority payment for Wales is £5,797. The calculations behind the average seniority payment are shown in Annexes C and D for each country. FSF Calculations Table 2 shows the breakdown of the FSF calculations for England and Wales. It is important to note, however, that this is merely an estimate of what the average seniority payment was, rather than a precise calculation. In the absence of central recording of NHS superannuable pay before seniority payment, it is not possible to do more than estimate what the size of the seniority component is for any one individual GP in the sample. Table 2: Breakdown of FSF calculations, England and Wales, GMS Contractor GPs, 2011/12 Coverage England Wales Average Superannuable Income Average Seniority Payment Final Seniority Figure 12,151 £97,918 £5,884 £92,034 1,443 £89,996 £5,797 £84,199 Note: Calculations are based on unrounded figures. By deducting the average seniority payment from average superannuable income, the FSF can be calculated for each country as shown in Table 2. The FSF for England is calculated as £92,034 and the FSF for Wales is calculated as £84,199. Annex E shows a comparison of Interim Seniority Factors (ISFs) and FSFs from 2006/07. The FSFs for 2008/09 as calculated in this report are noticeably lower than the ISFs. TSC intended to calculate a high ISF for 2008/09. As was the expectation, there is not such a difference between the ISF and FSF in subsequent years. Copyright © 2015, Health and Social Care Information Centre.

Annex A Inclusions Only data related to those GMS Contractor GPs with a full accounting year of superannuable income reported to the NHS Pensions Agency have been used in calculating the average superannuable income. If the full-year GPs have any superannuable income from other work outside their usual practice, whether in a contractor or salaried capacity, these have been included in order to calculate a total superannuable income figure for those GPs. Exclusions The following GP records have been removed from the average superannuable income calculation: a. All non-GMS GPs, and any GPs with both a GMS and a non-GMS contract. b. Any duplicate records. c. Any non-contractor records with only full-year earnings. d. Any GPs with only part year earnings. e. Any contractor GPs as described above who have full year superannuable income between zero and £10. In previous years, GP records that showed income solely received from NHS board and advisory work (i.e. Professional Executive Committee board) were also excluded. However, it is not possible to distinguish these GPs after 2005/06 in the dataset. 8 Copyright © 2015, Health and Social Care Information Centre. All rights reserved.
