Departmental Fraud
Health
Written answers and statements, 4 November 2009
Bob Spink (Castle Point, Independent)
To ask the Secretary of State for Health how many employees of his Department have been convicted of an offence of fraud in each of the last 10 years.
Phil Hope (Minister of State (the East Midlands), Regional Affairs; Corby, Labour)
Since 2006 no individual has been convicted of fraud while working for the Department.
Prior to 2006 records were not held centrally and it would incur disproportionate costs to search individual records.
