*Please note this data was extracted 22 October 2024, so 2024 is a part year only.
While our aim is to provide information whenever possible, in this instance the Scottish Public Pensions Agency does not have some the information you have requested. Members with any GP service have been included in number. They may not have retired from a GP role, as we were unable to determine this. Note also that some members continue to work after taking their pension.
