NHS Swindle Case in Court
An interesting story from the UK where the boss of a Plymouth based diving centre is in court for swindling GBP 250,000 from Britain’s National Health Service (NHS). He and two accomplices are accused of conspiracy to defaud the NHS by claiming back the costs for hyperbaric treatment which did not take place. They apparently own and manage a recompression facility at their Fort Bovisand diving centre. It is likely that genuine cases of decompression illness were treated there, but claims were submitted for a number of people who have never received any treatment and had never suffered from DCI.
The three have denied the charges.
