The Single Public Service Pension Scheme was launched on 1 January 2013. It is the default pension scheme for persons commencing employment in the public service from that date onward. The Single Scheme is administered at workplace level in a large number of "relevant authorities", which equate to individual employments or sectors. Because of this dispersed membership, a figure for the total number of members of the Single Scheme across the entire public service is not at present to hand. However my Department plans to conduct a survey of all relevant authorities in respect of the end-2013 Single Scheme outturns, to include the total number of Single Scheme members at the end of 2013.
