NHS pension statements in light of McCloud

My pension statement has very recently been updated to reflect the McCloud judgement and my membership prior to 2022 has reverted back to the 1995 scheme.

As I had anticipated, this actually leaves me worse off (though the specific and currently unknown age I retire will affect this calculation). I'm not concerned about that in the slightest as I understand that I will be in a position to choose whether to remain in the legacy scheme for the remedy period or revert back to the 2015 scheme when I retire as I'll be given the choice at that time.

I do though like to plan as accurately as I can and whilst I am able to roughly model the growth of my pension going forward as if I had not reverted to the '95 scheme, I would ideally like to have accurate statements to reflect my position had I not been reverted back to the legacy scheme, on an annual basis.

My questions are, is there a statutory requirement for public sector schemes to provide dual statements eventually, one each for the different positions? If (as I suspect) not, is anybody aware if NHSBA has any plans to offer this to members, prior to the time of making the decision (i.e. at retirement)? It's likely a forlorn hope but I figured the question is worth a punt.
