A SPECIALIST heart consultant and three of his staff have been found guilty of charging Basildon Hospital £1million for work they never carried out.
Internationally renowned expert John Mullholland and his colleagues carried out a specialist procedure at the hospital, where they were employed.
However, Mullholland, 40, also owned a private company, London Perfusion Service, which offered the treatment to other hospitals.
Basildon Crown Court heard in a three-month trial, a conflict of interest arose and between 2007 and 2011 the six defendants did not work all their contracted hours at Basildon Hospital.
Instead, they were at other hospitals carrying out private work.
