    The difference between the 2 is mostly because:
    1. the civil service has been reducing its numbers over the past ~20 years whilst the NHS has been enlarging. Thus they have differing ratios of active members paying in & pensioners taking out.
    2. The civil service has a lower employees contribution (~3.5% vs ~6.5%) to make up for its lower salary than the NHS

    I love it, civil war has broken out in the public sector :)
