Charges 7(b) – 7(g)
Charges 7(b) – 7(g)
Charges 7(b) – 7(g) concerned further instances where FP17s had been submitted in relation to treatment that was said to have taken place shortly before the end of the financial year, but records showed that the treatment had in fact been completed in the financial year that followed, namely on 15 May 2015 in respect of charge 7(b); on 17 April 2012 for charge 7(c); on 8 May 2015 for charge 7(d); on 1 May 2015 for charge 7(e); on 21 April 2017 for charge 7(f)); and on 19 October 2015 in respect of charge 7(g). In finding that the Appellant had been dishonest in each of these instances, the PCC’s analysis was analogous to the reasoning that I have set out in relation to charge 7(a).
