Reporting NHS fraud

Fraud and corruption within the NHS is unacceptable and diverts valuable resources away from patient care. Measures to counter NHS fraud were established in 1998 and in 2003 the NHS Counter Fraud and Security Management Service (CFSMS) was established.

Local Counter Fraud Specialists (LCFS) are established in all NHS Trusts to assist in reducing fraud and corruption to the absolute minimum and they can only do this with your help. If you are aware of potential fraud or corruption against the NHS, even if this is just a suspicion or a single piece of information, please pass it on to either:

Report a fraud via their online reporting form
 
The action that you take when you first suspect fraudulent activity may be crucial; do not try to investigate the matter yourself. Attempts to gather evidence by people who are unfamiliar with the law may destroy the case. You will not suffer any recriminations as a result of voicing a reasonably held suspicion. You can remain anonymous if you wish.
