| Annotation | Will the government's flexible retirement initiative have any effect on the NHS's entrenched staffing problems? Early retirement has been commonplace, as members of the NHS pension scheme can take voluntary early retirement from the age of 50. The NHS workforce has an ageing profile: the average age of a nurse is around 40. The NHS Executive has issued guidance which aims to persuade older NHS staff who might otherwise retire to stay on for a few more months, or do some part-time work or occasional shifts. (RH). |
