Locum worker jailed for fraud A locum worker who duped his bosses out of £23,000 by double charging it for his work has received a 15 month prison sentence. John Robert Cross of Swale, North Yorkshire pleaded guilty on two counts of False Accounting. Allan Carter, Head of Operations, NHS Counter Fraud Service, said today: “We are pleased that the sentence reflects the gravity of Mr Cross’s premeditated fraud, which went on for a considerable time. The last place the public wants a dishonest person to work is in an operating theatre. “The NHS Counter Fraud Service will follow up any suspicion of fraud reported to us, and where appropriate launch an investigation. We press for the prosecution of offenders and the strongest sanctions to deter others who might do the same.” |
