Transfer to NHS Pension??

Hello,
I received a letter from my previous company saying they are winding up their pension plan. I now have 3 options. I can swap it to my NHS pension, start a new pension with it or go onto the previous company's default arrangement. I'm worried if I put all my eggs in the same basket with the NHS that I could risk it all if the NHS gets into trouble. Or is it better to have your pension all in one place? Any advice would be gratefully received.
Thank you.

    The NHS scheme is gold plated. It is backed by the Govt. However, you can only transfer into the NHS scheme in the first 12 months of joining the scheme
