Re: Best GP?

I listen to radio 4 quite a lot, and recently the subject of the GP shortage was discussed.
It transpires that many GPs are retiring early because their pension scheme makes it more advantageous to do so.

It was something to do with reaching the 'pension pot maximum', which due to their high earnings was achieved earlier than most people do.. Any contributions after that, though compulsory, aren't worth making. There is also the factor that they are being moved from a 'final salary scheme' onto an 'average salary scheme'.
