Decision:

Minutes:

Due to the length of the agenda, it was confirmed that the report in this item was noted and any questions taken.

 

Mr Latham confirmed that The Pension Regulator’s survey results were released and one recommendation states that pension funds should have more freedom to pay salaries to attract and retain staff.  Mrs McWilliam noted that local authority policies can result in difficulties in paying appropriate levels to pensions teams, which in turn can impact on retention. The Chairman asked where these thoughts and concerns of the Fund can be raised and heard nationally. Mrs McWilliam said that there are now workshops covering the issues and allowing debate.
