Answer
The Northern Ireland Local Government Officers' Superannuation Committee (NILGOSC) is a statutory body established by the Local Government (Superannuation) Act (Northern Ireland) 1950 to:
administer a pension scheme for local authorities and admitted bodies; and
to manage and maintain a fund out of which the benefits of the scheme are met.
An independent reviewer has been tasked with conducting a review of NILGOSC as part of the New Decade, New Approach commitment to review Arms’ Length Bodies in Northern Ireland. This review is due to be completed in July 2024.
