New look pension scheme

The Scottish government, COSLA and the trade unions have jointly launched a consultation paper on proposals for a new Local Government Pension Scheme in Scotland.

The paper sets out a range of proposals that reflect progress with the discussions through SLOGPAG to date. It is not an agreed final position and in some areas a range of options have been presented to stimulate debate.

Most of the key areas for discussion are those set out in Scottish Pensions Bulletin 5 and discussed in detail at the last pensions delegate meeting. They include ill health retirement, employee contributions, cost sharing and scheme governance.

The consultation period runs until 31 October 2007.
