Membership profile (sourced from GAD data)

The information and analysis on this page is based on that provided to the Government Actuary’s Department (GAD) by local authorities (and includes Environment Agency funds) for the purpose of the 2013 National Model Fund valuation. This was supplied grouped and rounded by age and salary, therefore totals may differ from elsewhere in the annual report due to this. The shape of the charts should provide a reasonably accurate picture of the Scheme as a whole; however, memberships figures in the tables are shown to the nearest thousand to avoid over confidence in implied precision.
