There are two Health and Social Care Pension Schemes: a scheme divided into two sections known as the 1995 Section, established by the Health and Social Services (Superannuation) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 1995(S.R. 1995 No. 95) (“the 1995 Regulations”), and the 2008 Section, established by the Health and Social Care (Pension Scheme) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2008 (S.R. 2008 No. 256) (“the 2008 Regulations) (together “the legacy scheme”), and the scheme established by the Health and Social Care Pension Scheme Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2015 (S.R. 2015 No. 120) (“the 2015 scheme”). The Health and Social Care Pension Scheme (Transitional and Consequential Provisions) Regulations (Northern Ireland) (S.R. No. 122) (“the 2015 Transitional Regulations”) provided for the treatment and payment of legacy scheme benefits to certain members of the 2015 scheme. Transitional protection of this kind provided when reformed public service pensions were introduced in 2015 was found to discriminate against public service pension scheme members on the basis of age. PART 4Voluntary contributions Treatment of additional contributions made under the legacy scheme: deferred choice members 19 1 This regulation applies to a member— a who is a deferred choice member; b who is not a member to whom payment of part of a pension has been made pursuant to paragraph (2) of 2015 transitional regulation 25 in respect of additional pension resulting from an option under 1995 regulation 73A or 1995 regulation 73C; c where, during the remedy period one or more of the following occurred— i the contribution option period began in relation to the member’s option to pay additional periodical contributions under 1995 regulation 73A, 2008 regulation 34 or 2008 regulation 165; ii the member’s employing authority paid to the Department the single lump sum contribution in relation to the member’s option under 1995 regulation 73C, 2008 regulation 36 or 2008 regulation 167; iii the member’s employing authority paid to the Department the single lump sum contribution in relation to that authority’s option under 1995 regulation 73D, 2008 regulation 37 or 2008 regulation 168 in respect of the member; and d in respect of whom a deferred choice election has been accepted by the scheme manager or treated by the scheme manager as having been made in accordance with regulation 12 (election for 2015 scheme benefits: deferred choice members and deceased members). 2 Where this regulation applies and the scheme manager determines that the benefits to be paid to or in respect of the remedy member for the member’s remediable service are to be determined in accordance with the 2015 Regulations, the scheme manager must, after having regard to the advice of the scheme actuary, vary the member’s rights to the additional pension purchased in respect of the options referred to in paragraph (1)(c) so that those rights are of an equivalent value to the additional pension rights the member would have secured if the contributions had been made in the relevant scheme year in which they were paid— a in respect of an election under 2015 regulation 63 where paragraph (1)(c)(i) applies to or in respect of the member; and b in respect of an election under 2015 regulation 61, where paragraph (1)(c)(ii) or (iii) applies to or in respect of the member.
