The following list details offences which may constitute or result in a criminal act. These are mostly prosecutable under the Theft Act 1968, the Fraud Act 2006, the Forgery and Counterfeiting Act, the Criminal Law Act and the Bribery Act.

• Theft
• Making a False Representation
• Failure to Disclose Information
• Abusing Position to Gain
• Gaining a Pecuniary Advantage
• Misappropriation of funds
• Corruption
• Bribery
• Conspiracy
• Extortion
• Receiving a Wrongful Credit
• Money laundering
• Identity Theft Extortion
• Misappropriation of Funds
• Forgery 
  
  

The above is not an exhaustive list but contains the type of criminal acts that we may experience in the NHS. In terms of each case a judgement will need to be made in determining whether a person’s actions constitute a potential criminal act. For any case that is investigated by the LCFS, advice as to whether a criminal act has been committed is always obtained from the Crown Prosecution (CPS). This is the body that prosecutes a case on behalf of the NHS.
