Health Boards Sample Clauses

Health Boards. 4.1.1 Accountable Officers are responsible for having adequate arrangements in place to counter fraud within their Health Board. In line with central guidance, these arrangements must include investigation and robust systems of prevention and detection controls to reduce the risk of fraud and contribute to the promotion of a counter-fraud culture. 4.1.2 All fraud impacting on the finances or reputation of NHS Scotland must be reported to CFS, regardless of the value, who the suspect or victim is, and whether or not the fraud was actual or attempted. However, the FLO, in consultation with CFS, may occasionally decide that a fraud is best dealt with by internal management action. In general, this will be on the grounds of low value. 4.1.3 The Accountable Officer should also report alleged losses involving patients’ funds to CFS, where evidence exists of systematic fraud. 4.1.4 By signing this agreement both parties agree to adopt the Counter Fraud Standard from 1st April 2022.

Both parties to this agreement accept that in 2022/23, the activities, outputs and outcomes from this approach will not be optimised until the Standards framework has been more fully developed over the course of this Partnership Agreement. The aim is to progressively realise the benefits of the Standard framework without disrupting the current governance and assurance arrangements in place at each Health Board. 4.1.5 The components of the Counter Fraud Standard are as follows: i. Have an accountable individual at Health Board level who is responsible for counter fraud, bribery and corruption. ii. Have a counter fraud, bribery and corruption strategy. iii. Have a fraud, bribery and corruption risk assessment. iv. Have a policy and response plan for dealing with potential instances of fraud, bribery and corruption. v. Have an annual action plan summarising key actions to manage and improve fraud resilience. vi. Have annual metrics summarising what outcome achievements are sought. vii. Have well established and documented reporting routes for staff, contractors and members of the public to report suspicions of fraud and bribery. viii. Report identified loss from fraud, bribery, corruption, and associated recoveries. ix. Have agreed access to trained investigators that meet the agreed public sector skill standard. x. Undertake...
