Pension Administration Performance
Councils are currently reviewing and improving the efficiency of managing pension schemes for their members.
Islington Council's Pensions Board reviewed pension administration performance in July 2026, alongside the Pension Fund's overall performance and risk register. This followed a similar review by the Board in March 2026. Separately, Sutton Council reported a significant improvement in its pension administration performance in March 2026, with outstanding cases falling by over a quarter.
Between December 2025 and March 2026, outstanding cases at Sutton Council dropped from 837 to 604, an improvement attributed to the administration team's efforts to clear backlogs. The team decided not to prioritise overdue leaver cases over other critical cases, which impacted Service Level Agreement compliance. Pension administration performance refers to the effectiveness and efficiency of managing pension schemes. No upcoming meetings are currently scheduled to discuss this topic.
