Crimestoppers-powered number rolls out across the UK on NHS Counter Fraud Authority trucks

The joint campaign between the NHS Counter Fraud Authority (NHSCFA) and NHS Supply Chain will continue raising awareness of NHS fraud whilst delivering vital resources to NHS organisations.

The NHSCFA-branded supply trucks, asking those that spot them to ‘Help drive down fraud’, will be travelling the length and breadth of the country as they deliver supplies to NHS organisations.

Along with the slogan, each truck features details of the NHSCFA’s 24 hour, Crimestoppers-powered fraud and corruption reporting line, 0800 028 4060 – and their online reporting form - to inform those who suspect fraud how they can report it, 100% anonymously (if you wish to provide your details, they will be treated confidentially). The campaign, which is now in its second year, will run until April 2020.

The trucks have travelled over 300,000 miles with the campaign successfully raising awareness of NHS fraud (which, according to latest estimates, costs the NHS £1.29 billion a year) and encouraging those who suspect fraud to report it. The campaign saw the delivery of key messages around NHS fraud, raising awareness and encouraging collaborative working. Various social media campaigns, as part of #trackthetruck, supported the launch of the trucks to engage and maintain engagement with the NHSCFA’s audiences and stakeholders.

The campaign will continue to engage with audiences up and down the country to highlight the need to report suspected fraudulent activities. Five wrapped trucks, which are involved in the campaign, will serve areas including Manchester, London, Kent and Cheshire.


“I am delighted that we are continuing to collaborate with NHS Supply Chain to raise awareness of NHS fraud. The partnership has been very successful so far and it is exciting to have another year with NHS Supply Chain trucks delivering vital resources to NHS organisations and at the same time supporting the fight against fraud.”
Susan Frith, CEO of NHSCFA

"We are proud to continue to support the NHS Counter Fraud Authority’s campaign to help drive down NHS fraud. Last year the trucks involved travelled nearly 300,000 miles around the country, helping ensure everyone who sees these vehicles will also see this important message.”
James Turpin, Head of Logistics at NHS Supply Chain
