A Multi-Million Pound Fraud Investigation Has Begun At Wales' Largest Health Board.

A Multi-Million Pound Fraud Investigation Has Begun At Wales' Largest Health Board.

Specialist investigators have been called into Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board after auditors discovered at least £122m was allegedly not properly accounted for.

Audit Wales is also conducting a "high-level review of board effectiveness" to understand what went wrong and how.

The Welsh government said it was unable to comment on an active investigation.

Issues were first uncovered earlier in the year when auditors found a number of "significant errors" in the health board's account for the 2021-22 financial year.

They allegedly found there was £72m of unpaid invoices and bills listed in the accounts, but could not find evidence that they existed.
