Dermid McCausland, Managing Director of NHS Counter Fraud, said: "I very much look forward to working with Capsticks and am sure this initiative will act as a strong deterrent to any potential fraudsters. Our aim is of course to prevent fraud from happening in the first place but we can now send a very clear message to those who do commit fraud: fraud against the NHS doesn"t pay and, wherever possible, we will be seeking financial recovery." Daniel Purcell, the Partner leading the work at Capsticks, said: "We are delighted to be working with NHS Counter Fraud to energise fraud response across the NHS. We look forward to bringing our experience and expertise in working with NHS bodies in countering fraud to this vitally important and high profile work." NHS Counter Fraud Service
