participated in the Former Hospital Scheme as an employee on or after 30th
December 1989; or

indirectly to or for the benefit of any assignee.
Part-time employees

any time been a part-time employee –

period of pensionable service shall, for purposes of computation of benefit but

salary received, in comparison with persons in the same or similar category who
worked whole-time;
(b) his
average salary shall be computed by substituting the whole-time equivalent
salary for that actually earned in respect of each period of part-time service
during the three years immediately preceding his ceasing to be an employee or

Transitional provisions
19.-(1) Each pension in payment on the 1990
appointed day to or in respect of a former member of the Former Hospital Scheme
who left that Scheme before the 1990 appointed day without having become a member
of the scheme or without being entitled to a pension from the scheme derived
from the service of such a member shall (if such former member or any widow of
such former member does not elect otherwise before a date to be specified by
the Establishment Committee) be deemed for the purpose of these Regulations to
be a pension payable to or derived from the service of a member of the scheme.
In such an event the entitlements of or in respect of that former member under
these Regulations and the General Regulations shall be provided instead of the
entitlements under the Former Hospital Scheme Rules. Increases in respect of
changes in the Jersey Cost of Living Index made to such pensions shall from the
next pension payment date after the date of determination of the Former
Hospital Scheme be payable from the funds of the scheme and the pensions shall
thereafter be reviewed in accordance with Regulation 10 of the General
Regulations, subject to paragraph (3) of Regulation 6 thereof.
(2) A
former member of the Former Hospital Scheme with an entitlement to a deferred
pension, or to a deferred pension and lump sum, under Rule 22 of the Former
Hospital Scheme Rules which had not before the 1990 appointed day become
payable under the provisions of those Rules shall (if such former member does
not elect otherwise before a date to be specified by the Establishment
Committee) be deemed for the purpose of these Regulations to have been a member
of the scheme. In such an event the entitlement in respect of that former member
under these Regulations and the General Regulations shall be provided instead
of the entitlements under the Former Hospital Scheme Rules.
(3) Members
and former members of the Former Hospital Scheme may elect not to transfer
their accrued rights under the Former Hospital Scheme to the scheme, in which
event the Trustee of the Former Hospital Scheme shall purchase insurance
contracts securing benefits specified in paragraph (8) of Rule 51A of the
Former Hospital Scheme Rules. The benefits referred to in clauses (i) to (iv)
of sub-paragraph (a) of paragraph (8) of Rule 51A of the Former Hospital Scheme
Rules shall from the date of determination of the Former Hospital Scheme be
reviewed in accordance with Regulation 10 of the General Regulations, subject to
paragraph (3) of Regulation 6 thereof, and the resulting increases in respect
of changes in the Jersey Cost of Living Index shall be payable from the funds
of the scheme.
(4) If
the Committee is satisfied, after consulting the employer and the Actuary, that
a former member of the Former Hospital Scheme, including a former member who
left that scheme without becoming a member of the scheme, or the widow,
children or dependants of such a member, has or have not after the 1990
appointed day received a benefit or benefits to which he or they have been
entitled under the Former Hospital Scheme Rules, that former member shall if
necessary be deemed for the purpose of this Regulation to have been a member of
the scheme under these Regulations and he and/or his widow, children and
dependants shall be deemed to be entitled to that benefit or those benefits
under the scheme.
(5) In
the case of an employee to whom these Regulations apply, contributions paid by
that employee, and in respect of that employee by his employer, to the Former
Hospital Scheme in respect of the period after the 1990 appointed day shall be
deemed to be contributions paid to the scheme, and benefits paid to and in
respect of that employee from the Former Hospital Scheme in respect of the
period after the 1990 appointed day shall be deemed to be benefits paid from
the Scheme.

20. These
Regulations may be cited as the Public Employees (Contributory Retirement
Scheme) (Former Hospital Scheme) (Jersey) Regulations 1992, and shall be deemed
