NHS Protect finds 'no evidence' of Kettering Hospital fraud

NHS Protect finds 'no evidence' of Kettering Hospital fraud Investigators say they have found no evidence of fraud at a hospital which admitted more than 100 patients had been harmed by treatment delays.

A whistleblower had alleged patients were removed from lists at Kettering General Hospital because national targets were being missed.

The hospital denied "fiddling" but admitted inappropriate "filtering" to remove patients from waiting lists.

NHS Protect said it had carried out inquiries and no fraud was found.

The organisation, which investigates potential fraud in the NHS, said having conducted preliminary inquiries it would not be carrying out a full investigation. BBC Northampton
