Component 2 - The Counter Fraud, Bribery and Corruption Strategy
The current NHS Scotland Counter Fraud Strategy was launched in 2008. It provides a broad outline of our approach to tackling fraud. From April 2023, a new strategy will state how we intend to use our resources over the next three years to fight fraud, bribery and corruption. The strategy will then be refreshed every three years.
The counter fraud strategy is endorsed every three years through the Partnership Agreement between CFS and each health board. This agreement defines the services CFS provides to support health boards in countering fraud, bribery and corruption.
