Pretty much.
The state pension also needs to be looked at.
Potentially means tested.
If you have a private pension or savings that provide you with an income of say, £35,000 a year ( per person, not joint) then you don't need a state pension.
If , in the future, your savings dip below the threshold then you can apply for your state pension.

Well I think his point is, as well as reforming the NHS that pensions need to be looked at too.
