Section 32
Pension rights, etc., of Government employees to be preserved
of Health Sciences Authority Act 2001
(1)
The terms and conditions to be drawn up by the Authority must take into account the terms and conditions of service (including salaries and accrued rights to leave) enjoyed by the persons transferred to the service of the Authority under section 31 while in the employment of the Government.
(2)
Any term or condition relating to the length of service with the Authority must recognise the length of service of the persons so transferred while in the employment of the Government to be service with the Authority.
(3)
Nothing in the terms and conditions to be drawn up by the Authority is to adversely affect the conditions that would have been applicable to persons transferred to the service of the Authority as regards any pension, gratuity or allowance payable under the Pensions Act 1956.
(4)
Where a person has been transferred to the service of the Authority under section 31, the Government is liable to pay to the Authority such portion of any pension, gratuity or allowance payable to the person on his or her retirement as the same bears to the proportion which the aggregate amount of the person’s pensionable emoluments during his or her service with the Government bears to the aggregate amount of the person’s pensionable emoluments during his or her service under both the Government and the Authority.
(5)
Where any person in the service of the Authority, whose case does not fall within the scope of any pension or other schemes established under this section, retires or dies in the service of the Authority or is discharged from such service, the Authority may grant to that person or to such other person or persons wholly or partly dependent on that person, as the Authority thinks fit, such allowance or gratuity as the Authority may determine.
