To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what recent assessment he has made of the adequacy of (a) Primary Care Support England's (b) Capita's management of the NHS Pensions Scheme.

The NHS Business Services Authority is the scheme manager for NHS Pensions. NHS England is the employing authority for general practices (GPs) and undertakes local pension administration for GPs through Primary Care Support England (PCSE). NHS England entered into a contract with Capita Business Services Ltd, also known as Capita, to deliver primary care support services and save costs. In order to monitor PCSE, NHS England has a monthly governance board in place to monitor and assure the delivery of the PCSE service, which includes assessment of quality and performance indicators.
