The overwhelming majority of patients, healthcare professionals, contractors and suppliers would never dream of stealing from the NHS. But a small minority are. Every time that a fraud is committed, patient care suffers.
"Fraud" and "financial malpractice" may take many forms against the Trust and NHS:
The above actions may be carried out by members of the Trust’s staff and other health practitioners, companies contracting with the Trust / NHS, patients or members of the public in matters relating to the Trust / NHS.
The Trust and the NHS have introduced policies and procedures designed to drive down fraud to a minimum. The Trust Board is committed to ensuring that any fraud or financial malpractice is dealt with rapidly and effectively.
If you are aware of any matters which you genuinely believe may involve fraud or financial malpractice in the NHS, we would encourage you to raise these with the NHS Counter Fraud and Corruption Reporting Line on 0800 028 40 60.
Your confidentiality will be respected at all times.
