UK. Number of civil servants on £100,000 pensions trebles
The number of public servants retiring with pensions of more than £100,000 a year has trebled since 2010 as executives in final-salary schemes finish work.
NHS, civil service and teaching pension schemes paid six-figure incomes to 375 people last year, up from 117 in 2010, according to data obtained under the Freedom of Information Act.
More than 115,000 retired public servants are receiving more than the average salary of people in work, now £28,600 a year, up from 78,000 in 2010. This excludes the state pension, which adds £8,767 and is likely to push thousands more former public sector workers above the average salary. More than three quarters of those on pensions above £100,000 a year worked in the health service.
