GP and senior manager spared jail after stealing £153,000 from the NHS winter budget to train doctors

GP and senior manager spared jail after stealing £153,000 from the NHS winter budget to train doctors A leading mental health GP and senior clinical commissioning manager have been spared jail after fraudulently taking £153,000 from the NHS winter budget to train doctors.

Dr Ian Walton and Lisa Hill admitted raising a false invoice for GP training from a charity, on whose board they both sat, before diverting the cash into the bank account of a private company they controlled.

Walton, a highly-regarded GP of more than 30 years, and Hill abused what a judge called their "considerable positions of trust" by having money to which they were never entitled. The Daily Telegraph
