Northern Lincolnshire and Goole NHS Foundation Trust is designating November to Fraud Awareness Month (FAM) to coincide with International Fraud Awareness Week from November 16 to 22.
The Trust’s local counter fraud specialist, Nicki Foley, will give presentations to staff across Scunthorpe, Grimsby and Goole hospitals as well as visiting wards and departments to increase awareness of fraud related issues in terms of recognising and reporting NHS fraud.
Types of NHS fraud and those who commit it vary; for example patients may attempt to avoid paying prescription charges by falsely claiming exemptions or claiming for travelling expenses that they are either not entitled to or have not incurred; staff may attempt to gain employment with false documentation, or claim pay for shifts they did not work or work elsewhere whilst off sick from the Trust; and contractors may exaggerate or falsify records of NHS work or goods provided.
