Our thanks to Jeff for this. An extract:

“Dr Lim refuted that her actions were dishonest though did accept she was unreliable in regards to submitting and invoicing accurate hours.

According to the tribunal’s report Alan Taylor, legal counsel for the General Medical Council, claimed otherwise. He told the hearing that Dr Lim had been “receiving taxpayers’ money from the NHS for work she knew she had not done”. He further stated that the dishonesty was of a repeated and sustained nature covering 57 shifts over 41 days in a 15-month period.

Mr Taylor also stated that Dr Lim demonstrated a pattern of persistent, dishonest conduct over a significant period of time and that her actions plainly fell significantly short of what would be expected of a registered medical practitioner. He submitted that each act of dishonesty on its own would amount to serious professional misconduct but when taken together clearly amounted to serious professional misconduct.”

There’s no indication that the woman will be prosecuted for embezzling the NHS (and by extension the taxpayer).
