Information requested

‘In terms of the £1.31 Billion that is lost through Fraud Loss and Error each year: Could you provide the following breakdown please. Approximately, what is the ratio of Fraud v Error of the £1.31 Billion? Approximately, what is the breakdown in terms of value, of the kinds of fraud that account the Fraud Loss figure.’

NHSCFA response

Approximately, what is the ratio of fraud v error of the £1.31 billion?’

NHS Counter Fraud Authority does not disaggregate error and fraud loss. The NHSCFA targets fraud risk, threats and vulnerabilities to estimate the value of NHS funding vulnerable to loss through fraud. Guidance on how the organization calculates fraud vulnerability can be found here:
