I am part of Nominated Health Agencies & Voluntary Hospitals pension scheme. Have 40 years service and over 520 Class A PRSI contributions. Will be 65 in 2013. Will I have to wait until 66 yrs to claim Contributory State Pension element of my pension. Or do I claim for State Pension (Transition) 3 months before retirement date.
 
You can claim State Pension Transition at age 65 (as you've said, make your claim at least 3 months before your retirement date), and you should switch automatically to State Pension Contributory at age 66.

State Pension Transition is being phased out from 1/1/2014 for new applicants, anyone who qualifies before that date will continue to be paid for 1 year.
 
If you retire and your class A NHASS/VHSS pension plus any money you get from SW don't add upto what a class d with your service would have gotten you can apply for a supplementary pension from the NHASS/VHSS that would make up the difference upto 66
