Dentist Jailed For ?1.4m NHS Fraud

[super jumbe]

A dentist who conned the NHS out of ?1.4m by making false claims for treating patients has been jailed for seven years for conspiracy to defraud.

Between 2006 and 2009, Joyce Trail, from Sutton Coldfield, submitted 7,000 invoices for work she had never done, 100 of which were for patients who were actually dead.

The 50-year-old used patient details, which were unwittingly supplied to her by nursing homes after she contacted them advertising her services, to claim for people she had never met. She also double or triple-claimed for patients she had treated.

Trail was caught during a random check of files at her Birmingham surgery by officials from the NHS Business Services Authority.

When they contacted a supposed patient at a care home, they discovered he had gone private.




How many Dentists and Opticians taking unauthorised money from NHS and getting away with it, about time our GOVT should keep an eye on them?..

?1.4m is lots of money when we the tax payers have to put up with.
