An IT manager who worked for the NHS stole more than £800,000 from Essex hospitals, he has admitted.
A former IT manager for Mid and South Essex NHS Foundation Trust has been convicted of cheating the NHS out of more than £800,000 in a seven-year procurement scam.
A former IT manager has admitted defrauding the hospital where he worked out of £800,000. Barry Stannard, 53, had been head of unified communications at the Mid Essex Hospital Trust at Broomfield Hospital at the time of the offences. An investigation found Stannard, who is from Chelmsford, had stolen a total of £806,229.80 between 2012 and 2019. Concerns were first raised when the trust, which has now merged with hospitals in south Essex, ran a data matching exercise on its payroll and accounts payable records. An investigation was launched by the Local Counter Fraud Specialist provider (RSM) before it was escalated to the national team at the NHS Counter Fraud Authority.
