This document sets out the vision for a system-wide approach across health to tackling fraud which protects taxpayer’s money for better patient care. To realise the vision, the document defines DHSC’s counter-fraud objectives around a structure focused on accountability, convening and working together.

The strategy sets the direction and pace of the health group’s counter-fraud work, enabling DHSC to hold these bodies to account.

The strategy is for:

  • officials at DHSC
  • the NHS in England
  • DHSC arm’s length bodies
  • professional medical bodies and associations across the health service
