Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, how much money the NHS Business Services Authority has reclaimed from prescription fraud in the 2017-18 financial year.
We have assumed that the hon. Member is referring to the recovery of Penalty Charge Notices (PCNs) by the NHS Business Services Authority. In 2017-18, the NHS Business Services Authority’s Prescription Exemption Checking Service, collected £19.4 million against PCNs issued.
