Our partners

The NHSCFA is committed to delivering a truly health-wide counter fraud approach, and we recognise that fraud risk and more importantly, tackling that fraud risk, does not sit neatly within organisational boundaries - it emerges at the intersections of commissioning, service delivery, finance, data, regulation, and governance. Effective counter fraud activity therefore depends on coordinated action across national bodies, arm’s-length organisations, regulators, local systems, providers, and professional networks.

These stakeholders identified here are particularly important to the delivery of the strategy because each plays a distinct role in turning our collective ambition into meaningful impact. National partners provide policy alignment, legislative support, and system-wide oversight. Regulators and assurance bodies reinforce standards, governance, and accountability. Local systems and providers embed counter fraud by design into commissioning and service delivery, and the wider counter fraud community supplies the expertise, intelligence and operational capability needed to prevent, detect and respond to fraud. This strategy’s success depends on these relationships functioning as an integrated system rather than as isolated actors, ensuring that fraud resilience is embedded into NHS reform, digital transformation, and local care models, and that collective effort translates into measurable savings, stronger governance, and better protection of resources for patient care.
